Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: The assessment books
for 1951 for all of the thirty-two wards
of the City have been received from
the County Board of Property Assess¬
ment, Appeals and Review.
Totaling the separate figures for each
ward we get a grand total of
$1,017,&85,654.00. This total of land and
building valuations is $100.00 less than
the total shown in the letter from the
City Controller dated November 30, 1950.
This letter gives a total assessed real
estate valuation of $1,017,885,754.00,
divided $412,278,629.00 to land and
$605,607,125.00 to buildings. When add¬
ing the figures for the thirty-two
wards we get a total of $412,731,042.00
land valuation and $605,154,612.00 for
building valuation.
The earlier figures which we had
received were $419,015,283.00 land as¬
sessment and $592,915,540.00 building
assessment, and total $1,011,930,369.00.
In only five wards of the City was
the land valuation increased; an in¬
crease of $572,409.00 over the valuation
in 1945. In the other twenty-seven
wards the total decrease of land val¬
uation in 1951 over 1945 was $18,549,-
060.00.
Building assessments have been in¬
creasing since 1941 and now for 1951
total $605,607,125.00, an increase over
the year 1941 of $73,593,145.00.
In view of these figures, the question
is, “Why the land value assessment
should be decreased?"
To attract more industry to Pitts¬
burgh the County tax on machinery in
the City should be removed. To have
more new homes, office buildings and
industrial buildings we should reduce
the tax burden on these improvements.
Mr. Stewart:
Mr. President: I would like to call
the members’ attention to the fact that
Miss Millicent Leech, of Westinghouse
High School, with her class, I believe
they call it American Government, is
present today in the Council Chamber.
Mr. President, Miss Leech has brought
her class to this Council Chamber to
witness our meetings a great many
times before. As a matter of fact, I
have come to suspect that Council has
become a part of the curriculum.
I am sure that all of the members
welcome them, and I suggest that you
explain to the young Pittsburghers
something of our procedure here.
The Chair (Mr, Duff, Pres’t Pro tern.)
also welcomed Miss Leech and her
class and explained the procedure of
Council.
Mr. Stewart moved
That the Minutes of Council
of Monday, January 8, 1951, be ap¬
proved.
Which motion prevailed.
And upon motion of Mr. Stewart
Council adjourned.

to their city. They are actively seeking
new industries.
The greatly increased assessment of
machinery by Allegheny County is
harmful to industry here in Pittsburgh
and in the Pittsburgh district.
Recent newspaper items report that
a number of industries have appealed
these increased assessments.
I have received a letter from Mr. J.
Lewis Palley, President of the Palley
Manufacturing Company on the North
Side, giving their Increased assessment

Mr. Palley, in his letter to me of
January 26, 1951, states:—
“There was practically no new
machinery of any considerable value
added to either the Tinware Man¬
ufacturing Company or Palley Man¬
ufacturing Company during 1950.
Mr. Fagan moved
That the following members be
excused for absence from Council and
Committee meetings:
Mr. Gallagher on January 3, 8, 9,
15 and 16, 1951;
Mr. Leonard on January 3, 8, 9, 15,
16, 23, 24 and 29, 1951;
Mr. Stewart on January 16, 1951;
Mr. Kilgallen (Pres’t) on January 3,
8, 9, 15, 16, 23 and 29. 1951.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: During my remarks
in the Council meeting of January 15th,
1951, I stated: “To attract more in¬
dustry to Pittsburgh the County tax
on machinery in the City should be
removed.”
When visiting three Western Penn¬
sylvania cities of the third-class last
Thursday and Friday, I found that
none of them taxed machinery and
each one of them stressed this fact as
an Inducement to have industry come
“The increase was due entirely to
a reassessment and to the fact that
the assessor fine-combed every
piece of equipment no matter how
old without reference to the fact
that we had built the equipment
ourselves or had bought it.
“This letter authorizes you to
use these statements in our name
for the Municipal Record.”
In the Westlnghouse News of Jan¬
uary 23, 1951, Mr. T. I. Phillips. Vice
President in charge of the East Pitts¬
burgh Divisions, referred to plans for
expansion at East Pittsburgh as fol¬
lows:
“NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
“Mr. Phillips pointed out that the
Company had made a careful study
of the possibility of locating the
new facilities in other parts of the
country. Tt is to the credit of the
Pittsburgh area,’ he added, ‘that
we concluded the best spot for
them was right here at the East
Pittsburgh Works’.”
40
I am sure we are pleased to see this
expansion in our district, and hope !
that the great increase of assessment I
on their machinery, which they have
appealed, will not prevent further plans
for expansion in our district.
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr. President: I have been a member
of this Council for quite a_ number of
years and it is the first time that I
Imow of the Council of the City of
Pittsburgh meddling into the functions
of the County of Allegheny.
This matter that Mr. Demmler is
pointing out, I do not see where it is
anv prerogative of City Council. The
County Commissioners are entitled to
levy taxes according to the power re¬
ceived from the State Legislature the
same as the City is empowered to levy
taxes according to the statutes of the
State of Pennsylvania.
In my opinion these remarks of Mr.
Demmler’s in the record are immaterial,
and I do not think it is any of our
business what the County of Allegheny
Is doing.
The Chair:
Certainly it is not germane of any
powers this body may exercise. We
have no power to levy on machinery,
of course, and I suppose Mr. Demmler
made these remarks as a matter of
consideration to bring them before the
public.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: I fully agree with Mr.
Gallagher’s remarks. I make no ob¬
jection and take no offense at it. I
am speaking purely to state my posi¬
tion so that I may be on record when
new Industry comes to Pittsburgh.
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr. President: I do not disagree with
any member of this Council in ex¬
pressing an opinion, but due to the
fact that various manufacturers are
fighting in the Courts about, the County
levying these taxes on machinery, I
think, as a member of Council I do
not want to become Involved in a con¬
troversy in the Courts.
Mr. Demmler or any other member
can express his opinion. That is his
right, and as one member of Council,
I have done it in the past.
Mr. Fagan:
I agree with Councilman Gallagher
that Councilman Demmler has the
right to express his opinion and put
into the record matters affecting taxes
or other matters of importance to City
Council.
I take from the record that he has
just compiled which at least infers
that the Board of Assessors, which is
composed of real estate men, appar¬
ently is probably hitting machinery
too hard and neglecting to assess land
and buildings in a manner in which
it should. I thought that was the
reason Councilman Demmler was mak¬
ing this record. Because as Mr. Gal¬
lagher has said, the matter is now in
the Courts and the corporations are
fighting it and the corporations are
able and will have the best legal talent
available. The powers to tax come from
the Legislature, but apparently from
all you read in the newspapers ma¬
chinery has been hit hard, and of
course, like Councilman Demmler or
Councilman Gallagher, we want to see
new business come to Pittsburgh, and
there has been a lot of it come, not
right in the City but to certain mu¬
nicipalities, boroughs and townships
around, and in McKeesport and Mif¬
flin Township there has been quite an
increase In industry. The Continental
Can has built a plant and the Kelsey
Hayes Wheel Company and I under¬
stand the National Tube Company Is
expanding, and it is going ahead in
spite of the fact that taxes are high
on land and machinery.
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr. President: While we are on the
subject of taxation, I suppose there is
a bill introduced in the Legislature,
like there has been for the past fifteen
or sixteen years to try to take some
of these exempt public utilities prop¬
erties and put them on the tax list.
There is one tax that is unjust be¬
cause taxes are exempt on* certain pub¬
lic utilities properties that run into
millions of dollars. I hope the members
we have will fight to place these pub¬
lic utilities properties, that have been
exempt, on the tax books.
41
The Chair:
I suppose our record runs something
like the record of Congress. It is a
register of a lot of statements that
have no rational relation with the busi¬
ness of this body, but they are there
nevertheless. We will put the R.I.P.
on it and let it repose In peace.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President and Members of Coun¬
cil; There are a few pertinent facts I
would like to put into the record with
reference to the sale of property by
the three taxing bodies.
The taxing bodies properties sold
during 1950, to December 31, 1950, as
compiled from Attorney Harry Beschel’s
report, totaled $1,317,794.29. The City’s
share was $647,427.46; the School Board
received $388,863.70, and the County
received $247,222.76; commissions, costs
of sale, and title proceedings amounted
to $34,280.27. The total of previous
sales to December 31, 1949, was $3,-
382,175.74, of which the City’s share
was $1,558,123.58; the School Board re¬
ceived $951,186.26, and the County re¬
ceived $590,776.46. The commissions,
costs of sale, title proceedings, etc.
amounted to $129,823.20. The grana
total to December 31, 1950, was $4,-
699,970.03, of which the City received
$2,205,551.04; the School Board received
$1,340,049.96, and the County received
$837,999.22; and the total commissions,
costs of sale, title proceedings, etc.,
was $164,103.57. Treasurer’s sale of
lots for 1950 totaled $473,449.00, of
which the City’s share was $252,141.25;
the School Board’s share was $130,-
959.80 and the County’s share, $75,-
712.85. The original costs amounted to
$3,657.63 and the costs of resale
amoxmted to $9,227.91.
Previous sales to December 31, 1949,
was $192,220.62, of which the City of
Pittsburgh received $94,973.75; the
School Board received $50,478.84, and
the County received $27,733.01. The
costs of sale were $4,247 01 and the
costs of resale were $10,694.97. The
grand total of Treasurer’s sales was
$665,669.62, of which the City received
$347,115.00; the School Board received
$181,438.64 and the County received
$103,445.88. The costs originally
amounted to $7,904.64 and the costs
of resale amounted to $19,922.88.

I merely put these figures into the
record so that he who runs may read,
Mr. President.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: I would like to make
one observation on Mr. Fagan's report
which Is of interest to me. Often we
hear people saying that we are not
receiving enough for the properties we
are selling. The 132 parcels which we
sold for a total of $1,317,794.29 were
assessed: Land $1,044,115.00, Buildings
$433,750.00, for a total of $1,477,865.00.
Therefore, the sale price is almost
90% of the assessed value. If one
would take into consideration that
and if you compare the sale price
with the assessed value of the land
we received considerably more than the
assessed value of the land.
I do not have the assessed value of
the vacant lots that were sold, but
those that come before us today are
being sold above the assessed value.
Mr. Weir moved
That the Minutes of Council
of Monday, January 29, 1951, be ap¬
proved.
Which motion prevailed.
And upon motion of Mr. Weir
V
I
very often the building is a detriment, j Council adjourned.

authorizing a warrant in favor of Ruth
Shick in the sum of $500.00 upon re¬
ceipt of a Warrant Deed conveying
property 60x100 feet on Mifflin road,
31st Ward, has been affirmatively
recommended by the Committee on Fin¬

The Works Department calls my at¬

The property was condemned for pub¬

sewage pumping station not as a water
pumping station as stated in the
"Whereas Clause."
I suggest, therefore, that the First
"Whereas Clause" be amended in the
last line by striking out the word
‘water’ so that it will read . . . "for

this lot is only 29 x 55 x 62 feet.

Tlie Chair (Mr, Duff) presented
Bill No. 3189.
Whereas, The Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States has sug¬
gested to the Congress the enactment
of legislation removing the exemption
of State and municipal securities from
Federal taxation; and
Whereas, The proposed legislation
would result in an increase in the in¬
terest rates which cities would be re¬
quired to pay on future issues of muni¬
cipal securities and thereby subject the
taxpayers of the City of Pittsburgh to
material increases in the cost of gov¬
ernment; Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Mayor and the
Council of the City of Pittsburgh do
hereby oppose the enactment of all
such legislation by the Congress of the
United States; and further be it
Resolved, That a copy of this resolu¬
tion be forwarded to the Chairman of
the House Ways and Means Commit¬
tee, the two United States Senators
Mr. Weir moved
The adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Weir:
Mr. President: I hope that the United
States Conference of Mayors, speaking
through its Chairman, the Mayor of the
City of Pittsburgh, will be successful
in its efforts to prevent the taxation
of income from municipal bonds, and
I believe that we should pass this Res¬
olution as evidence of our support of
these efforts. I do not know whether
the Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States is actually in favor of
imposing income tax on the proceeds
of municipal bonds, or whether he
merely desires to bring this discussion
up as a phase of the general re¬
examination of the income tax question
by Congress; however, if the proposal
is actually advanced by the Secretary
of the Treasury, or anyone else, I be¬
lieve that the interest of the govern¬
ment of the United 'States, as well as
the governments of states and cities and
other governmental units, will be best
served by the defeat of any such pro¬
posal. As I see it, the imposition of
individual income tax on the interest
derived from municipal obligations
would serve only to increase the interest
rates which such obligations would bear
and thus greatly increase the cost of
local government. It would seem to be
obvious that the interest rates on mu¬
nicipal bonds are low because the in¬
terest is exempt from individual income
tax. Anyone who purchases these bonds
does so only after an analysis of his
own income tax position. If he is in
the 75% sur tax bracket, he can hold
a 1% municipal bond to the same ad¬
vantage as he would hold some other
investment yielding 4%. If the income
tax exemption is removed, It will in¬
evitably force the interest rates on mu¬
nicipal bonds upward to whatever per¬
centage is necessary to result in the
same net yield to the purchaser after
payment of income tax. Otherwise, the
bonds would not be purchased, since
many other investments are available
yielding high rates of return. There-
73
fore, the final burden of this taxation
would rest upon the property owners
of the municipality who would be
obliged to pay higher real estate taxes
and since most of these property own¬
ers are persons of relatively small in¬
come, it would be equivalent to indi¬
rectly increasing their income taxes.
Thus, it actually would be a departure
from the principle that income taxes
should be levied according to ability to
pay. Certainly, we all agree that the
federal government should do everything
possible to close any loop-holes in the
income tax laws, but the proposal to
tax the income of municipal bonds is
not in this category.
Air. Gallagher;
Mr. President: I second the motion
for the adoption of the resolution. I
think the action of the Mayor and
Council of the City of Pittsburgh will
strengthen the hands of the United
States Conference of Mayors,
This proposed legislation has been
attempted several times in Congress,
and I think, through the activities of
the United States Conference of Mayors,
it had some weight in defeating it and
keeping it in committee. I think our
action will strengthen the action of the
Conference of Mayors.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution, the motion
prevailed.
Upon motion of Mr. Wolk
Council adjourned.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Fagan moved
That the following members be
excused for absence from Council and
Committee meetings:
Mr, Leonard on February 6, 6 and 20,
1951.
Mr. Kilgallen (Pres’t) -on February 5,
6, 12, 13, 19, 20 and 26, 1951.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Leonard presented
No. 3236. Resolved, That the
Director of the Department of Sup¬
plies be and he is hereby requested to
withhold the awarding of a contract
or contracts for the purchase of uni¬
forms for the members of the Bureau
of Fire until the employees of said
Bureau and the Firemen's Protective
Association, Local No. 1, are granted
the courtesy of a public hearing by
Council.
Which was read.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I introduced this
resolution—as I understand it there Is
nothing before Council or has come
out in the open and there has been no
ordinance to that effect in regard to
the City purchasing uniforms for the
Bureau -of Police and the Bureau of
Fire. I do not know—I xmderstand it
is rumors that are going about and
that much is settled. I further under¬
stand that in your private conferences
you have met with the Fraternal Order
of Police on the question but the
courtesy has not been granted the
Bureau of Fire.
Further, the reason I put this reso¬
lution in today, it is rumored that two
department stores, the only two that
bid on this question, and further¬
more, the Department of Supplies is
ready to let a contract on Wednesday,
this coming Wednesday. The rumors
have been brought to me.
I do not know another way tO' bring
this subject up outside of resolution,
but I want to say that a proposition
of this kind needs to be thrashed out
in public in this Council Chamber.
Business of this kind does not look
good, for after all this may be close
to 1,500 police and firemen’s uniforms,
and that is big business and in my way
of thinking it is not fair to put this
kind of legislation into effect without
at least giving a public hearing to the
people who' are involved. There is one
very serious thing about that. I am not
speaking on the question of the Bureau
of Fire, but I say it is serious. The
Bureau of Fire belongs to the Amer¬
ican Federation of Labor, which the
members of the Fraternal Order of
Police are prohibited from being mem¬
bers of the American Federation of
Labor. For many years the P^remen
have enjoyed that privilege and they
have a tradition in the Federation of
their own organization throughout the
United 'States and that tradition is
that the union label has always been
carrie<i on the Bureau of Fire’s uni¬
forms. Other angles enter into it. It
is not only a question of imiforms. I
understand that it has come up that
some of the employees In the Bureau
of Fire and in the Bureau of Police
have been shabbily dressed. I say, if
they have been shabbily dressed they
are making a very grave mistake, and
Weir

Duff, (Pres’t
Pro tern.)
84
the Fraternal Order and the Inspector
of Police in that precinct or the Lieu¬
tenant of Police or the Sergeant should
chastise them and see that they spend
that amount that is allotted and see
that they purchase uniforms, and if
not they should send them home. I
have been around here a number of
years and I have never heard the
complaint. iTiey have pride in their
work and in their communities, and
there is another thing and that is
their money goes into more than the
uniforms. There are a lot of things and
I resent the fact that these things
are going on without being discussed
out in the Council Chamber.
I could push for a vote on the reso¬
lution today but in fairness, if you say
so you can send it to Committee and
it can still come up in Committee
tomorrow, but I am told the bids are
to be opened on Wednesday.
The Chair:
It seems to me that the proper dis¬
position would be to refer it to Com¬
mittee for tomorrow.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: That is all right with
me, and I will move for that.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: If the City wants to
go into the thing, it will find it will
cost a lot more. If a fireman tears
his boots or his raincoat he tries to
repair it himself, hut a man isn’t go¬
ing to do that if he has to take care
of it himself and only allowed $75,00.
He must wear the best equipment.
Every time there is a fire there is
going to be a requisition to buy this
and that. Director "Driscoll spends
$70,000.00 instead of $69,000.00. This
thing has been operating all right and
the thing I cannot understand is why
the Bureau of Fire should be penal¬
ized when we all know their i\eatness
and they do not deserve to he treated
like this, and they at least deserve
the courtesy of a public hearing.
Mr, Leonard moved
That the resolution be referred
to the Committee on Public Safety.
Which motion prevailed.
(Mr. Demmler voting No).
Mr, Leonard: Mr. Demmler, are you
voting against holding a hearing?
Mr. Demmler: No, Sir, I am voting
not to send it to Committee.
Mr. Gallagher presented
No. 3237, An Ordinance ap¬
propriating and setting aside sums total¬
ing $2,500,000.00 in the Department of
Public Works, from Bond Fund No. 176,

Which motion prevailed.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Leocnard:
Mr. President: I want to bring one
thing before Council which I do not
believe is Council’s fault. Last year
when we authorized the redecoration
of the Council Chamber the names of
some of the former Mayors of the City
of Pittsburgh were removed from the
ceiling. We understood, and instructed
the proper people that these names and
also the names of the mayors that had
not yet been placed there, would be
restored. Up to the present time they
have not been, and I might say that
some of the families of the past
Mayors are resenting very much that
their names were removed from this
Council Chamber and not reproduced as
promised. I think we ought to' call it
to the attention of the Depafrtment of
Lands and Buildings.
The Chair: There is no doubt it is
still the wish of Council, and all we
have to do is notify the Department.
Mr. Weir moved
That the Minutes of Council
Weir
Wolk
Duff, (Pres’t
Pro tern.)
99
of Monday, February 26, 1961, be ap¬
proved.
And upon motion of Mr. Weir
Coimcil adjourned.
Which motion prevailed.

Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: In regard to Bill No.
3240, the Bond Issue bill, has the De¬
partment of Public Works made public
a list of improvements and repairs it
intends to make when the bonds are
sold?
The Chair:
I think there have been several re¬
leases on the subject. I do not think
there has been any general announce¬
ment of all things that are included.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I just raised the ques-
107
tion. Of course It is out of the twen¬
ty-one million dollar bond Issue, and as
one of the members of Council, I
would like to know where it is going
to be spent.
The Chair;
I think the Director of the Depart¬
ment of Public Works can show you
pretty clearly and pretty readily just
exactly what is contemplated this year
by. the Department.
Mr. Leonard;
Mr. President: There is quite a bit
ot street paving anticipated.
The Chair;
That is right. I do not remember
the amount.
Mr. Leonard;
Mr. President; The point I am rais¬
ing, what amount is going into our
streets?
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President; There has been pub¬
lished in the newspapers the streets
wherein the Pittsburgh Railways Com¬
pany is either going to repair or going
to renew their tracks. As far as I
know, that is the only thing that is
definitely sure. Director Devlin can give
Mr. Leonard additional information.
The Chair:
I think Mr. Leonard is more inter¬
ested in the dollars in the streets.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: Naturally, I am inter¬
ested in the neighborhood where I live.
You have received letters and I have
received them and we have to answer
that mail. It is a lot of money but it
is not one-tenth of the amount we
could spend. I think the public ought
to be better informed.
The Chair;
We do not do that in the bond issue.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President; I will make a motion
under Motions and Resolutions.

CITY OP PITTSBURGH
CERTIFICATE OF EMERGENCY
Whereas, Article XIV, Section 13 of
the Act of March 7, 1901, P. L. 20, as
amended by the Act of May 31, 1911,
P. L. 461, provides that all appropria¬
tions shall be made annually by gen¬
eral ordinance except in cases of emer¬
gency when special appropriations may
be made to meet the same; and
Whereas, The Chairman of the Board
of Water Assessors, in letters addressed
to the Mayor and the City Controller
under date of February 21, 1951, has
stated that at the present time the
Board of Water Assessors is falling be¬
hind in the forwarding of completed
metered accounts to the office of the
City Treasurer for billing purposes and
that this situation has been created
because of the fact that a large num¬
ber of property owners are changing
from unmetered to metered accounts.
108
This has resulted in a great number of
requests on the part of property own¬
ers for the reassessment of unmetered
or flat rate premises. In order to com¬
ply with these requests, it is necessary
to take men from the reading meter
assignments to the checking of flat rate
assessments, thereby making it neces¬
sary for the employment of two (2)
additional Rate and Assessment Clerks,
Board of Water Assessors, at a salary
of $3,000.00 each per annum; and
Whereas, Such appears as good and
sufficient reason to impel the certifica¬
tion of an emergency under the cir¬
cumstances;
Now, Therefore, We, David L. Law¬
rence, Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh,
and Edward R. Frey, Controller of the
City of Pittsburgh, do hereby certify to
Council of the City of Pittsburgh the
existence of an emergency requiring
the employment of two (2) additional
Rate and Assessment Clerks, Board of
Water Assessors, at a salary of $3,-
000.00 each per annum, for the pur¬
poses above set forth.
David L. Lawrence, Mayor
Edward R. Frey, City Controller

MOTIONS AND RESOLLTIONS
Mr. Gallagher presented
No. 3313. An Ordinance estab¬
lishing the lines of Mary street from
South Twenty-third street to South
Twenty-fourth street.
Which was read and referred to the
Committee on Public Service and Sur¬
veys.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr, President: I am sorry that Pres¬
ident Duff is not in Council today be¬
cause I wanted to congratulate him on
the action taken to have the names of
some of the former Mayors restored on
the walls of the Council Chamber. I
also want to recommend that John
Thomas take notice that we, as Demo¬
cratic Councilmen, do not think that
the Mayors of the Republican Party
are ‘'Furriners.”
The Chair:
You have seen the samples and it
seems to me that it might be proper
for us to give instructions to go ahead,
because the men are waiting for those
instructions.
3Ir. Leonard moved
That the names of the former
Mayors not already on the ceiling be
placed in the pilasters of the walls in
the Council Chamber as per the sample
shown.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: I would like to add
that the names of the Mayors be as
follows: E. V. Babcock, William A. Ma¬
gee, Charles H. Kline, John S. Herron,
William N. McNair, Cornelius D. Scully,
and David L. Lawrence,
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the motion, the motion
prevailed.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I brought up the ques¬
tion in the five million dollar bond
program we passed today on public
Improvements. I repeat, I do not think
five million dollars will even scratch
the surface, but I was interested in
the number of streets that were going
to be Improved and the amount. I do
not know how the Department has the
amount broken down, and I do not
think Council knows what improve¬
ments are going to be made outside of
what the bill calls for. This has been
running through my mind and you can
take it for what it is worth.
The Chair (Mr. Stewart):
Mr, Leonard, are you going to make
a motion?
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I am going to make a
motion but I want to explain. The
reason I brought It up, Mr. Chairman,
we are up against a problem, as Direc¬
tor Devlin has stated. Our streets are
in bad condition because of a terrible
winter. We only have so much money
to go ahead with public Improvements,
but I do think at this time that we
should screen this bond program and
we should take out public improve¬
ments that we can do without crip¬
pling necessary comfort now. What is
vital is the fixing of these streets: I
realize I will have a lot of people on
my neck. In the bond issue for in¬
stance it has the North Side Conserva¬
tory, I would like to see the Conserva¬
tory and beautiful flowers on the North
Side the same as in Schenley Park,
but we are up against it and need the
streets repaired more than we need
that.
The Chair (Mr. Stewart):
That building is already up.
116
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I just mentioned that,
but do we need to do that kind of
things. The costs are increasing due to
the wartime conditions. The govern¬
ment tells us that we may not be able
to construct some things. I think we
should screen and take all the money
possible and put it on our street pro¬
gram. That is most needed and will
help most people. The Director of Pub¬
lic Works is up against the problem
of money. No doubt if you have twen¬
ty million dollars you would have a
place to put it on streets alone.
I think we would be better off if we
would repair streets everywhere pos¬
sible. We got hit with a freak of na¬
ture and I do not think it would be
asking too much to hold up the other
Improvements and repair the streets.
Mr. Leonard moved
That the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works furnish
Council with a list of streets he con¬
templates to improve by resurfacing
and/or rebuilding and an estimate of
the cost from the Five Million Dollar
Bond Issue.
Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: In the bulletin for
February 26, 1951, published by the
Bureau of Mimicipal Research of Phila¬
delphia, Pennsylvania, there was printed
the following article which well applies
to the traffic conditions here In Pitts¬
burgh
“PREVENTING A TRAFFIC-
STANDSTILL”
“Warning that the municipal traf¬
fic problem is becoming ever more
critical, the Executive Director of the
American Society of Planning Offi¬
cials recently offered these prescrip¬
tions for achieving ‘suitable move¬
ment of people.’
‘“1. First and foremost: We must
have proper planning of cities so as
to get a suitable relationship be¬
tween home, work, school, recreation,
and shopping. We must cut down the
amount of movement by private au¬
tomobile.
“ '2. We must have a great im¬
provement of mass transportation fa¬
cilities and a great increase in their
vise. This involves the realization that
government and cities in particular
have a great responsibility for im¬
proving mass transit facilities than
they have for widening streets and
providing off-street parking lots.
“ ‘3. We must use new devices in
zoning. We must make it a positive
tool rather than the negative in¬
strument it has been since its in¬
ception. We hope there can he a
suitable relationship between home
and work but where the home is pro¬
tected against certain types of in¬
dustry.
“ ‘4. We must utilize urban rede¬
velopment so as to reorganize our
cities to permit them to become ef¬
ficient.
“ ‘5. We have to place responsi¬
bility where it belongs. The traffic
creator—and particularly the parking
creator—^has the responsibility of
providing for the off-street storage.
We must make the traffic creator
face that responsibility instead of
putting it on the shoulders of the
body politic’.’’
Each one of these five items is re¬
ceiving attention here in our city. The
City Planning Commission, the Bureau
of Traffic Planning, the Parking Au¬
thority and the Allegheny County
'Traffic and Transit Commission are all
concerned with and are studying the
problems here set forth.
We, as Council, should do all that
we can to assist in bettering our traf¬
fic conditions.
Mr. President: On the streets
throughout the City are standing a
number of old automobiles. Some of
these automobiles, often on prominent
streets, have no license plates, some
with only one plate, some with no in¬
spection stickers, and many with old
inspection stickers which were void
after January 31, 1951. The owners of
these old automobiles should be com¬
pelled to remove them from our streets.
This action would make, at least, a
very small improvement in traffic con¬
ditions.
Mr. Fagan moved
'That the Minutes of Council of
Monday, March 5, 1951, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
And upon motion of Mr. Gallagher
Council adjourned.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: Furthering my remarks
of Monday, March 12, 1951, I make the
following motion:
Mr. Demmler moved:
That the Mayor be asked to instruct
the Bureau of Police to have all auto*
mobiles setting on the streets of the
City on and after April 1, 1951,
bearing 1950 license plates, no inspec¬
tion label, or old, expired 1950 inspec¬
tion label, removed, either by their
owners or towed to the City Auto
Pound.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr, President: I might make this
remark; it is not my intention to
remove any automobile that is being
used by the owner, but there is no
reason that I can see why we should
let any automobile set on the streets
for six or eight weeks, and even longer.
It is surprising to see the number
of machines that you will find without
inspection stickers or with old inspec¬
tion stickers on very prominent streets,
and it is only those machines that I
would like to see removed.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the motion, the motion
prevailed.
Mr. Gallagher moved
That the Minutes of Council of
Monday, March 12, 1951, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
And upon motion of Mr. Fagan
Council adjourned.

When the name of Mr. Leonard was
called, he arose and said:
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: May I qualify my
vote? 'The bill came up in Committee
last week and there was discussion
and questions were raised that the
Department did not advertise for a
contract, etc., and Council was to get
an explanation. That is the reason I
voted No,
Mr. Stewart:
Mr. President: I saw Mr. McNeil and
he said he had reported fully on the
matter and told me the substance of
his report and I think that ought to be
a part of our records.
The Chair: I think in this matter
the motion was that the hill was re¬
turned with an affirmative recommen¬
dation and that the Director be noti¬
fied that if advertising for bids is not
followed in each particular instance
135
as required by law the practice of pur¬
chasing materials hereafter without full
compliance with the law will not be
concloneq by Council.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: Don’t you think if
the Department made a report that
the report should be read In Council?
I think the bill should lie over, be¬
cause of the lack of information.
The Chair: The bill having failed to
receive six votes, it lies on the table
until it is called up at a subsequent
meeting.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I voted No and I
wanted to qualify my vote. I realize
what vote is needed.
The Chair: If it gets the requisite
six votes, of course, it will be enacted.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: There should be no¬
body else in a better position to know
what the status of the bill is than
Councilman Leonard. He is Chairman
of the Public Safety Committee. I
understand that was a great saving.
If it is true there may not be any
letter here or information from the
Director, but at the same time I
thought we took proper action in Com¬
mittee meeting on the matter whether
it was a saving or not, and that the
Director would comply with the law.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: As Mr. Fagan states,
I hold the title of the Chairman of
the Committee on Public Safety. That
is the reason I raised the question. I
will not vote on something until I
know what it is about. I have been
shown nothing of a report and for
that reason I am raising the question.
It may be that the Chairman of
the Committee should know what it is
all about. I have been Chairman for
twelve years and a lot of things have
gone into committees that you know
nothing about until they hit. As far
as Chairman Is concerned, it is only
a title and It does not mean anything.
Read the Charter Act relative to Coun¬
cil and you will see that you, Mr.
Fagan, as Chairman of the Committee
on Lands and Buildings or me as
Chairman of the Committee on Public
Safety, does not mean one iota. It
does not give any authority and any
other member has as much authority.
It is only a little window dressing.
There is nothing in the Charter that
gives any authority whatsoever to the
Chairman of a Committee or that a
bill must be introduced by the Chair¬
man of the Committee. That is a
phony and Councilmen should not be
charged with chairmanships of any
committee because Council is a stand¬
ing committee. In some cities maybe
people get mislead by it. In third-
class cities and in some second-class
cities they assume the responsibility
of the chairmanship they have, but not
under our own City Charter Act. It
Is a phony and just window dressing.
It means that you are a member of
Council and that goes for the Presi¬
dent of Council. That is my interpreta¬
tion of the Charter Act and I have
read it and I have had members of
this Council that I respect for their
judgment as lawyers tell me, and I
can say one of them in particular
taught me the Charter Act pretty well.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: That is not the way
I understand it. I meet with the Di¬
rector of the Department of Lands
and Buildings or with anybody in
that Department and with the other
taxing bodies, the representatives of
the Pittsburgh Board of Education and
the County Commissioners of Alle¬
gheny County and if I think there is
something wrong in the Department
of Lands and Buildings, the first one
I go to is the Director. We look at
property and set up values and nobody
has ever questioned my authority. I
have had a lot of meetings with them
and when a piece of property comes
up for sale I know something about
it, or I will not vote for it. I talfc
It over with EWrector Greene and Frank
Kirk and . John Monahan. So, the
Charter Act does not stop you if
you want to do it.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: In defense of myself
as Chairman of the Committee on
Public Safety, I think there is a
little bit of difference if you go into
the Department of Public Safety and
if you go into the Department of
136
Lands and Buildings. I have gone into
them and asked about matters. I will
show you what the chairmanship of
the Public Safety Committee amounts
to. I will give you a good instance. For
two years I worked pretty hard in the
Bureau of Building Inspection with
Councilman Evans. It was his hobby.
It will be many a day before you will
find a man who knows more about
real estate than Councilman Evans
knew. He had ability and a lot of it
and had knowledge anu experience,
and when Councilman Evans became
sick he asked me to work with him
to help in the drafting of a new
building code, and I did that. I went
before the Builders Exchange and the
Master Builders’ Association. I repre¬
sented him at the American Institute
of Architects more than once, and
worked long and many hours on slum
clearance and on the housing pro¬
gram. The bill was finally passed, spon¬
sored by myself on account of be¬
ing Chairman of that Committee. When
that was done there were quite a num¬
ber of people appointed to the Commit¬
tee, and I as a Builders’ Trades Com¬
mission, was not allowed on the com¬
mittee, and I am Chairman of the
Public Safety Committee of City Coun¬
cil. That is what this chairmanship
amounts to. I am just giving you that
for one example. I could give you
many examples and particularly in the
Bureau of Police—many of them, but
I do not care to put that into the
record,
I used to inquire why the Director
would not do this and do that and I
was politely handed the City Charter
and informed that I was getting out
of bounds. Your authority amount to
the courtesy of introducing a bill if
It is in the Department of Public
Safety. Then you can have the honor
of introducing it, and if you do not
like it you can hand it to the next
one.
Since you brought this up as the
Chairman of the Public Safety Com¬
mittee, I have been informed by
rumor that the heat on me, and I
will Just say that they will get it
back ten-fold, and I have heard that
the word has been sent out to work
on me. During the last week I .have
beard more rumors all over City Hall
that the heat is on Leonard. Well,
Leonard likes it and is pretty well
rested and if the book is thrown I
will throw it back.

Whereas, Article XIV, Section 13, of
the Act of March 7, 1901, P. L. 20. as
amended by the Act of May 31, 1911,
P. L. 461, provides that all appropria¬
tions shall be made annually by general
ordinance except in cases of emergency
when special appropriations may be
made to meet the same; and
Whereas, The Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works in letters
146
addressed to the Mayor of the City
of Pittsburgh and the City Controller
under date of March 22, 1951, has
stated that the 1951 Appropriation

28, 1950, provides the sum of $75,000.00
in the Bureau of Highways and Sewers,

Repairs by Contract, and
Whereas, It was the original inten¬
tion at the time of the preparation of
the budget, to use Code Account No.
1655-8 for the restoration of utility
cuts, and it was proposed to let a
contract for this purpose; and
Whereas, It is now found that there
are a great many asphalt streets re¬
quiring patching and it is felt that
the appropriation of $75,000.00 as afore¬
said will cover the repair of more
streets through the employment of
personnel and the purchase and rental
of equipment than if the work was
done by contract; and
Whereas, The foregoing appears to
present good and sufficient reasons to'
impel the certification of an emergency
requiring the passage of legislation
transferring the foregoing sum of $75,-
000.00 in the Bureau of Highways and
Sewers, Code Account No. 1655-8, there
set up for asphalt repairs by contract
to another Code Account for the pur¬
poses hereinbefore referred to;
Now, Therefore, We, David L. Law¬
rence, Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh,
and Edward R. Prey, City Controller of
the City of Pittsburgh, do hereby cer¬
tify to Council of the City of Pitts¬
burgh the existence of an emergency
requiring the making of asphalt re¬
pairs of streets, with City forces. In¬
cluding the purchase of materials, the
purchase and rental of equipment, and

not to exceed the said sum of $75,-
000.00 as originally appropriated in
Ordinance No, 604, approved December
28, 1950, C. A. 1655-8, and requiring
the passage of legislation transferring
the said sum from the foregoing Code
Account to Code Account No__
for the purposes aforesaid.

Mr, President: In connection with
this bill, there was some little doubt
as to what the purpose for the purchase
was, and in the absence of the Chair¬
man of the Committee on Public Health
and Sanitation, we were not able to
get the desired information. Immedi¬
ately after the meeting I called Direc¬
tor I, Hope Alexander of the Depart¬
ment of Public Health, and asked him
to furnish us with the information and
the proper use of this machine, and in
a letter he says:
“Dear Sir: You were interested in
our requisition for the purchase of a
Gas Kinet-O-Meter Cart Outfit.
“This is an instrument for the ad¬
ministration of anesthetics by inhala¬
tion, with which we can use ether
vapor or nitrous oxide. As a part of
this equipment there are attachments
where we may switch over from the
anesthetic to the use of oxygen or a
mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The oxygen is used where the patient
becomes cyanotic. The combination
of oxygen and carbon dioxide is used
where not only the patient becomes
cyanotic but has developed trouble in
breathing—the carbon dioxide in this
mixture stimulates respiration. These
gases are administered under posi¬
tive pressure. In other words, this is
a regular equipment used by all
hospitals for anesthesia by inhalation
and is to replace the old equipment
which we have used for the past
fourteen years which is now worn
out and must be replaced.”
This explains the use of the im¬
portant machine.

Resolved by the Council of the City
of Pittsburgh that it goes on record
and joins with the educational and

questing that the Federal Communica¬
tions Commission allocate to the Pitts¬
burgh area a non-commercial educa¬

Which was read.
Mr. Fagan moved
The adoption of the resolu¬
tion.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: The Mayor had a
meeting with the leading educators
within a hundred mile radius of the
City of Pittsburgh, and I think there
were thirty-two institutions repre¬
sented, the School Board, the City and
County and Parent Teacher organiza¬
tions, university and colleges were all
represented.
This has to do with trying to get
the Federal Communications Commis¬
sion to grant a channel for the City
of Pittsburgh and the County of Alle¬
gheny and Western Pennsylvania. I
would like to have the Clerk read the
resolution. Councilman Gallagher and I
attended the meeting.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the resolution, the motion
prevailed.
Mr. Weir moved
That the Minutes o^ Council
of Monday, April 2, 1951, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
And upon motion of Mr. Gallagher
Council adjourned.

Mr. Stewart:
Mr. President: On Bill No. 3507,
which is a resolution authorizing a
warrant in favor of Dominic S. Acierno,
I intend to vote No. My reason being
on the basis of the information which
has been presented I can see no negli¬
gence on the part of the police officer.
It seems to me this is a case which
is clearly governmental and is clearly
intended to be governmental immunity.
If we pay a claim of this sort we are
assuming liability of an insurer, and
for those reasons I intend to vote no.
The Chair:
I might state my position on the
bill to which Mr. Stewart is referring.
The rule conferring exemption of a
governmental body from liability for
acts of its employees is rather anti¬
quated, and is gradually being modi¬
fied. But apart from legal liability, we
194
as Councilmen may recognize moral
obligations that do not rise to the
plane of legal ohligations. In a case
like this where a citizen of the City
is pursuing his way and meets With
an accident due to the discharge of a
revolver hy a police officer causing
pain and loss of work, I think if there
is any situation which would call for
the recognition of a moral duty this
would be one, particularly in view of
the fact that the injured party is a
man of limited means. In such a case
I feel that the loss occasioned by the
act of the policeman should not be
borne by the injured party but rather
by the public.
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr, President: I want to concur in
your remarks. I do not know the man
and nothing about the case; but here
is an Innocent bystander injured in
the performance of a police officer’s
duties, he not only sustains injury
but loses his wages while he is con¬
fined, and in this case I think we do
have a moral obligation, and I am
going to vote for the bill.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: I made the motion in
Committee to report Bill No. 3507
affirmatively, and I think, like Coun¬
cilman Gallagher, that we really have
a moral obligation to reimburse this
gentleman. It was not his fault he was
shot and he lost a lot of time and his
clothes were destroyed and he suffered
a lot of pain. We do not know how
good a marksman the policeman was,
and after all, a policeman should be
careful. It would have been a lot better
to have let this other man get away
than to shoot some innocent person.
I do not know what the problem of
the policeman is, and I do not know
the Individual personally, but I do
have enough of humanity and enough
of the milk of human kindness in my
breast to know that this man was
shot; was injured and he suffered and
was put to a great deal of expense,
and I think the City of Pittsburgh
ought to be big enough to compensate
him. He is not asking for wages or
anything like that, but only asking
for the amount of the doctor bill and
hospital bill and that the clothes be
paid for. I do not see how anybody,
no matter how highly technical or
legal the question may be, could re¬
fuse to compensate this man, because,
after all he might go into court and
recover more than he is asking for
here.
Mr. Weir:
Mr. President: One thing that dis¬
turbs me, I wonder how much our
sense of moral obligation would be in¬
fluenced by the number of digits in
these sums we have to pay out. How¬
ever, I am not sure that you could
not consider this a case of negligence
if we did not have the defense of
governmental function, I might have
to disagree with Mr. Stewart on that.
This might be my last chance to dis¬
agree with him to any avail, since he
will be a Federal Judge on Friday.
Mr. Stewart:
Mr. President: As I understand the
fact as given to us, of course it may
be a question of judgment, but as I
read this there is not the slightest
indication of fault on the part of the
policeman who was in pursuit of a
thief, and as it was in the course of
his duty, there is no indication that it
was negligence in any way. Brushing
aside this governmental immunity and
think about the case where it would
go if the police were sued. If he were
sued I would be in favor of having
the City pay for it, hut I do not think
in this case there is any question of
negligence. I am not satisfied to allow
my sympathy for this man, which I
think is as great as Mr. Fagan’s, to
influence my judgment in the matter.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: It is not a question
of sympathy, it is a question of jus¬
tice. The man was shot.
The Chair:
I do not base my judgment upon
legal responsibility; I put it on moral
obligation. I think that wher^ there
is any danger of a policeman in the
discharge of his duty injuring an in¬
nocent bystander rather than allowing
the offender to escape, I think the of¬
ficer should have taken the latter
course.

poses at this time, according to infor¬
mation received from Bennett Rodgers,
First Assistant City Solicitor, who had
consulted with the Director of the
Department of Parks and Recreation.
It is desired by the Government that
prompt permission be given by the City
to it for this purpose. I, therefore,
offer for Council’s consideration a mo¬
tion, which will permit the Govern¬
ment to use a portion of the Herschel
Playground for two months.

That the Mayor be authorized
and directed to execute, on behalf of
the City of Pittsburgh, a license to

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Fagan moved
That the following members be
excused for absence from Council and
Committee meetings:
To the President and Members
of Council.
Gentlemen;
I hereby submit my resignation
as a member of Council, effective at
the close of business May 2, 1951.
Yours very truly,
Wm. Alvah Stewart.
Mr. Demmler on April 11, 1951;
Which was read, received and filed.
198
Mr. Weir moved
That the resignation of Mr.
Stewart he accepted.
Mr. Stewart:
Mr, President and Members :—As all
of you know, I have resigned from
this body to accept appointment as
Judge of the United States District
Court for the Western District of Penn¬
sylvania.
My assumption of that office will
constitute the fulfillment of an ambi¬
tion, or perhaps better, a hope which
I have had for many years, in fact
since my admission to the bar. I be¬
lieve that judicial office is the highest
honor that can come to one of my
profession. I cannot say In honesty
therefore, that I am sorry to leave this
Council. But I can and do say that
I am proud to have been a member of
this Council. During the five years that
I have been one of you, Pittsburgh
has begun and carried forward the
greatest program of improvement, ex¬
pansion and betterment in all phases
of our community endeavor of any
city in the United 'States. I think at
no time in the history of our country
has so much been undertaken and ac¬
complished in one community. I am
glad that as a member of this Council
1 have had a part In it.
I know you all well and I am cer¬
tain that Pittsburgh will continue to
advance under the leadership of Mayor
Lawrence and this Council.
I have been connected In one way or
another with the government of this
City and County since 1934, excepting
for the period of my service in the
Army of The United States, I am
going to miss not being a part of the
City government. You may be sure
that often on Mondays, as the hour of
2:00 approaches I will feel a little
twinge when I remember that I need
not hurry to make roll call.
I wish long life and continued suc¬
cess to each one of you.
Mr. Weir:
Mr. President: I think I speak for
all of U3 when I say we accept this
communication from Mr. Stewart with
mixed feelings. In the first place, I
am sure we will all miss his intelligent
advice in our deliberations and deci¬
sions in Council. At the same time we
cannot help but be pleased that one
of our colleagues has been appointed
to this high office of Judge of the
United States Court. I know as a
lawyer and as a member of this body,
and through my association with him
in the office of the City Solicitor,
that he will unquestionably serve with
ability and distinction in the office
to which he has been appointed by
the President of the United States.
I am sure that we all wish him a
great deal of success as a Judge of
that distinguished Court, and all feel
confident, as I do, that he will really
be a credit to that Court, and to this
body, from which he goes to that
Court.
The Chair:
I would keenly regret your depart¬
ure from this body, were it not for the
fact that you have been elevated to a
high judicial post * for which your
character, learning and experience as
a lawyer qualify you in a preeminent
degree, which qualities have gained
for you the respect and the confidence
of all the members of the bench and
bar of this County. You have conscien¬
tiously and ably discharged the duties
of your office to the credit of this
body and yourself. You shirked no
duty, nor have you failed to carry
your full share of the burdens and
responsibilities of this office. We shall
miss your generous co-operation and
your keen judgment in the many per¬
plexities and problems which come be¬
fore a body of this character.
I extend, Judge Stewart, my sin¬
cere wish for many years of content¬
ment and achievement as a Judge of
the Federal Court, not necessarily lim¬
iting it to the District Court.
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr. President, I want to concur in
the remarks of Councilman Weir and
also your remarks, and I do not think
I could add anything to what you have
both said, only that I hope Council¬
man Stewart or Judge Stewart will
199
have a long life so he can enjoy the
office to which he has been appointed.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: Naturally we are sorry
to see Judge Stewart leave Council,
but we are happy he has been ap¬
pointed to this very exalted position
that carries with it grave responsibili¬
ties,
I am happy to have had the privi¬
lege of working in Council with Coun¬
cilman Stewart, and I wish him, like
Councilman Gallagher, a long, happy
and prosperous life, and that his ten¬
ure as Judge will be of an extended
period and that he will become one of
our outstanding Judges, and probably
go on to higher judicial realms.
I wish you every success, and I am
not speaking facetiously, hope I will
never have to appear in your court as
a defendant.
Mr. Wolk:
Mr, President: My official connection
with the City of Pittsburgh started
about the same time as Mr. Stewart's,
in 1934, as Assistsent City Solicitor. I
stood up in this body, when he was
appointed as City Solicitor of the City
of Pittsburgh and spoke very strongly
for confirmation, and I have watched
him for many years and know him to
be a very able and competent lawyer,
and one who has all the qualifications
necessary to make him an excellent
judge. But he is also qualified in many
other respects. I believe he under¬
stands thoroughly the proper relation¬
ship of a judge with the community
in which he lives. He has shown that
by his very able and conscientious de¬
votion while a member of this body,
and I know that he will fulfill to the
highest degree all the hopes and ex¬
pectations that his friends have for
him as a Judge of the District Court.
I congratulate him and wish him
success and happiness in his new
position.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: I, too, Join with the
other members of Council in extend¬
ing congratulations and best wishes.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr, President: Like the other speak¬
ers, I Join in congratulating former
Councilman Stewart, and soon Judge
Stewart, of the Federal District Court.
I feel like the other members, that
Bill Stewart has a good reputation and
a good legal mind and is a student of
law. I do not think the President of
the United States or the Senate of the
United States could have selected a
better person for the position. I have
known Bill Stewart for quite a long
time, when he was City Solicitor and
prior to that, in fact, before either
one of us became City officials, he was
on the opposite side in a case, and he
pinned our ears back in that case, and
ever since that we have been friends.
In City Council sometimes we have
been in disagreement taut we have never
carried that beyond the seat in City
Council. Many times Councilman Ste¬
wart and I could not see eye to eye
on a point, never on a legal matter,
always on something else. I think today
is one of the few times I did not
support Judge Stewart’s opinion. Some¬
times we did not agree on matters but
not legal ones and when we walked
out of here there was no such thing
as chips carried ' on our shoulders. I
am glad I have always had him as a
friend and I wish him good luck and
God’s speed and much happiness for
him and his family. Congratulations.
Mr. Stewart:
Mr. President: You are so generous.
I deeply appreciate what you have said
and I hope my future conduct as a
Judge will in no way cause or indi¬
cate any reason why you should change
these very fine things you have said
about me. I have quite a realization of
the responsibilities, and sometimes it
worries me. In the main is to live up
to the expectations of his friends, but
I can assure you that if I fail It will
not be because I have not tried.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the motion, the motion
prevailed.
Mr. Weir moved
That the Minutes of Council
of Monday, April 23, 1951, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
And upon motion of Mr. Weir
Council adjourned.

Council met pursuant to the following
call:
Pittsburgh, Pa.,
April 30. 1951.
James W. Patterson,
Cleric of Council.
Dear Sir:
Please call a special meeting of Coun¬
cil and the Mayor for Thursday, May
3. 1951, at 9:00 o’clock, A. M., (Eastern
Standard Time), for the purpose of
electing a member of Council to fill the

Gallagher Kilgallen, (Pres’t)
The Chair:
The order of business is the election
of a member of Council to fill the va¬
cancy caused by the resignation of
William Alvah Stewart. Nominations
are in order.
Mr. Weir:
Mr. President:
It is a pleasure for me to place in
nomination a popular citizen of Law-
renceville and our equally popular Fire
Chief, William H. Davis. My pleasure
in proposing Mr. Davis does not result
merely from the fact that he lives in
Lawrenceville—which, incidentally, has
not had a representative in this body
since the death of Mr. Charles Ander¬
son—the fact is that I would favor Bill
Davis regardless of where he lived, and
I am sure that he would be equally
popular in any other neighborhood. This
is because he has energetically devoted
himself to the people of his community,
to their problems and their welfare.
When he has finished his day’s work
in the Fire Department, he begins an-
201
other day’s work of helping those who
are in need of his advice or assistance.
In this way, Bill Davis has developed
a sympathetic understanding of the
views and the desires and the needs
of the average Pittsburgh family, which
will be a valuable asset to him as a
Councilman, if he is elected here today.
I wish to add also that it is not
only because Mr. Davis is a popular
fire chief that I am pleased to nom¬
inate him, taut rather because he has
performed in such an outstanding man¬
ner in that position. We have been
fortunate here in Pittsburgh in having
a number of excellent men in charge
of the Bureau of Fire within my mem¬
ory, but none has excelled the per¬
formance of William H. Davis. He has
aggressively and successfully sought to
improve the Bureau by the addition of
modern equipment, in the Improvement
of the fire training program, in the
installation of a central fire alarm sys¬
tem, and in providing a two-way radio
system for fire-fighting equipment and
cars, which is now in prospect. Under
Mr, Davis’ leadership of the Fire De¬
partment, we have also built a number
of new fire houses, which are models
of simplicity and efficiency. I know you
have all observed in connection with
the design of the new fire houses, as
well as in other matters, that Bill Da¬
vis, while striving for constant improve¬
ment in the Fire Department, has ever
been mindful of the importance of
saving money in every way possible
without reduction in efficiency, and in
this he has been very helpful to us.
Bill Davis has been with the Pitts¬
burgh Fire Department continuously
since July 10, 1916, except for the time
that he served in the Army of the
United States in World War I, and he
has risen successively from hoseman, to
Lieutenant, to Captain, to Battalion
Chief, and finally to Fire Chief. ‘And
yet, with a life devoted to the fire
department, he still does not have a
single-track mind, but is capable of
recognizing and appreciating the many
problems of government that confront
us, and I am confident that if he is
elected here today, he will become not
only a congenial, but a valuable col¬
league.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President, Mayor Lawrence and
Members of Council; and friends of
Fire Chief William H. Davis:
I arise at this time to second the
nomination of William H. Davis for a
member of the Pittsburgh City Council,
due to the fact that our friend and
colleague, William Alvah Stewart, has
been promoted to the United States
District Court of Western Pennsylvania,
which leaves a vacancy in Council.
I am happy to second the nomina¬
tion of Bill Davis, because I find him
to be a man of honor, integrity and
ability. As Councilman Weir said, away
back in the year 1916, Mr. Davis be¬
came a sub-hoseman in the Pittsburgh
Fire Department. The Fourth of July,
1916, must have been a great day for
Bill, because he knew the next day he
was going to he appointed to the Fire
Department of the City of Pittsburgh.
From that day until this moment, he
has been a fearless fire fighter. He
has the confidence of the men in the
Fire Department, and, of course, of the
administration, and all these men and
all those who sent these beautiful floral
tributes, demonstrating that Fire Chief
Davis has a lot of friends. Of course,
he has to be nominated, and I feel
confident that he is going to be elected
to fill the unexpired term of William
Alvah Stewart. The chances are that
in November he will be a candidate for
election to a full term in City Council,
and I hope that when he aspires to
that office, he will receive as many, or
more, flowers when he is inducted into
office, on the first Monday in January,
1952.
I said he is a fearless fire fighter.
He is leaving the Fire Department, but
he will find there is a lot of heat In
Council. There may not be many flames,
but there is a lot of heat, and It
sometimes feels like it is Dante’s In¬
ferno. But we haven’t got the motto,
*‘A11 ye who enter here, leave all hope
behind,” because who enter here come
to do something good for the welfare
of the City of Pittsburgh.
As Councilman Weir said, there is
not any doubt that Bill Davis is quail'
fled for the job. There is not any doubt
202
that to be a fireman you have to have
courage, and when a fireman brings
his courage here to the legislative meet¬
ings and also the Committee meetings
and also to the other meetings we may
have, such as policy meetings, etc., I
Just want to offer this word of caution
to the Fire Chief, that when he be¬
comes a Councilman, whether it is in
a conference or a legislative meeting
or a committee meeting, when he hears
the fire alarm, he will be allowed to
go to the fire, but he will be com¬
pelled to ask the Chairman to be ex¬
cused. He has been going to fires for
a long time, and I imagine the first
time he hears the alarm he will think
he ought to be on his way. We do not
want him to be a LaGuardia; we want
him to be here helping us put out
fires.
I say it is a pleasure, an honor and
a privilege to second the nomination of
William H. Davis for City Council of
Pittsburgh,
Hrm. David L. Lawrence, Mayor:
Mr. President, Members of Council,
and Fellow Citizens:
It is a very great pleasure for me,
as the Mayor of the City, and under
the provisions of the Charter Act, one
who has a vote in filling a vacancy
in Council, to second the nomination
of William H, Davis, to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of William
Alvah Stewart.
I am very happy this morning to
see so many of Chief Davis’ friends
and colleague here from the Fire De¬
partment. As I look over these flowers
I congratulate those who sent them,
for I agree with them, that if any¬
body sends me flowers I want to smell
them. Most times you get them when
it is too late. I am glad to see so
many of his fraternal friends here this
morning, because, in addition to his
governmental duties and his civic ac¬
tivities. he has been a prominent fig¬
ure in fraternal organizations of the
City.
I believe this is a big day in Pitts¬
burgh, and I believe should be an in¬
centive for other employees of the City
to do a good job, too, because, frankly,
with all the other attributes of the
Chief, the one that stands out in his
selection is the fact that he has done
one of the best jobs for Pittsburgh
any employee has ever done. I say
that without any intention of flattery.
I say it because of close observation.
While I am not a LaGuardia by any
means, that Councilman Fagan said he
did not want Bill to be, I have at¬
tended many fires in the City of Pitts¬
burgh, and there was able to observe
Chief Davis in action, and I say to
you, it was a treat to anyone to see
our Fire Department functioning at a
fire, large or small. Never, at any time,
as a man in the Department, has he
asked any man to do anything or go
anywhere that he did not lead the
way. I remember him very well at the
giant Wabash fire. I say, and I am
not bragging, because I am here only
five years, and I am not entirely re¬
sponsible for it, but we have the best
fire department in the United 'States,
and a great deal of the spirit and vim
and vigor with which these men work
is due to the inspiration and work of
its Chief in the past decade.
I remember a big business man, a
few years ago, complaining about the
Chinese wall at the Wabash ruins, say
to me that Chief Davis and his Fire
Department were too efficient. They
should have let it burn down.
So, in elevating him, we hope we are
inspiring the other employees of the
government of the City of Pittsburgh.
Bill Davis always gave a day’s work,
and more than a day's work, every
minute of the time he was in the Fire
Department. I think he will bring the
City employees’ point of view into the
government.
Mr. Chairman, I do not know any¬
thing that has given me more pleasure
since I have been active in government
functions of the City than to second
Bill Davis’ nomination.
The Chair: ^
Are there any further nominations?
Mr. Demmler moved
That the nominations close on
the name of William H. Davis. (Sec¬
onded by Mr. Wolk.)
203
And on the question, the Chair de¬
clared the ayes to have it, and the
nominations closed.
The Chair:
The question is on the election of
William H. Davis to be a member of
Council to fill a vacancy for the Tin-
expired term until the next Municipal
Election.
On the election of Mr, Davis, the
Clerk will call the roll.
And the roll having been called, the
votes for Mr. Davis were as follows:
Messrs. Demmler, Pagan, Leonard,
Weir, Wolk, Duff (Pres’t Pro tern.),
Hon. David L. Lawrence, Mayor.
And William H. Davis having received
all of the votes of the members of
Council present, constituting a major¬
ity, and the vote of the Mayor, is duly
elected to fill the unexpired term of
Mr. Stewart, resigned, in accordance
with the provisions of the Act of As¬
sembly approved May 31, 1911,
And the Chair appointed as a com¬
mittee to escort the member-elect to
the Chamber for the purpose of having
the oath of office administered to him,
Messrs. Weir and Fagan.
And the Committee having returned
with the member-elect, was discharged
with the thanks of Council.
And William H, Davis took and sub¬
scribed to the oath of office, which
was administered to him by President
Pro tern. Duff,
The Chair:
The Chair recognizes Councilman
Davis.
Mr. Davis:
Mr. President, Mayor Lawrence, Mem¬
bers of Council, and Ladies and Gentle¬
men:
I want to thank each and every one
of you for promoting me. I hope to
do a good job here, and at this time,
Just for an old friend of mine, I would
like you to stand and bow your heads
in prayer for the man who made me
a member of the Pittsburgh Fire De¬
partment, Squire Halloran.
(Audience arose and stood in silent
prayer.)
This is quite a Jump from being a
Fire Chief. I have been notified by
the President that all bells have been
taken out.
Again, I want to thank my friends
of the Ninth Ward. They have been
very kind to me in my own ward. They
tell me there are thirty-two wards I
will have to contend with now. But
I still have a warm feeling for the ward
that started life for me.
Again, I want to thank each member
of Council and the Mayor, and Charles
Dinan of the County, and also my good
friends, Commissioner Kane and Com¬
missioner Fowler.
The Chair:
I have known you for upwards of
ten years, and I think, by reason of
that relationship, I can bear witness to
your many qualities of mind and char¬
acter.
Mr. Davis is a man of sound com¬
mon sense, of unquestioned integrity,
an able leader in the performance of
any duty which he has assumed. I
could recite many of his other virtues,
but he is a modest man, and I know
would shrink from any great praise;
but I do think it suffice to say that
the qualities he possesses will make him
a most able councilman and will com¬
pensate him in a degree for the loss
which has been occasioned by the de¬
parture of our able colleague, Mr. Stew¬
art.
I want to express my congratulations
to you and I hope that the citizens of
the City of Pittsburgh will put their
stamp of approval upon our action by
electing you for a full term.
And upon motion of Mr. Weir
Council adjourned.

No. 3147 October Term, 1947.
preted as an approval of the Mercan¬
tile Tax. I have always opposed the
enactment as well as the re-enactment
of the Mercantile Tax and will con¬
tinue to do so, because it is a tax
on industry. I know of individuals and
some businesses that have moved out¬
side the City on account of this tax,
but I do feel it is a tax on industry.
In yesterday's issue of the Pittsburgh
Press there was an article entitled,
"Growing Pains in the Suburbs," in
which there are two paragraphs which
I wish to call to your attention.
One paragraph is:
"So, Pittsburgh has the dubious
distinction of having the smallest
percentage of people within its city
limits and the biggest metropolitan
problems."
The suburbs exist because of the City
and we definitely benefit because of
the suburbs.
I fear a number of the people mov¬
ing to the suburbs fall to realize some
of the problems they face, and for that
reason I quote this paragraph:
"The suburbs are faced with never
ending problems and headaches —
shortage of school facilities, sewers,
transportation, unimproved streets,
inadequate fire and police protection,
garbage collection, soaring taxes and
debt."
But it does not mean that a met¬
ropolitan government would remedy all
these problems. I will say that I will
never vote to bring any suburb Into
the City, but if the City services be¬
come so attractive that a suburb wishes
to join the City, I will welcome It with
open arms.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: With reference to Bill
No. 3581, Pile No. 1556, if it were not
for the Mercantile Tax and a few other
taxes, we, in the City, would have a
bigger headache.

Whereas, The State of Israel, which
has Just observed the third anniver¬

the world’s youngest democracy but Is
an outpost of freedom and liberty in
one of the earth’s most backward
areas; and
Whereas, In developing their new
country, the Israeli have provided a
homeland for hundreds of thousands
of persons who have been victims of
totalitarian oppression and persecution;
and
Whereas, The founding purposes and
principles of Israel parallel closely
those upon which our nation was es¬
tablished and its national policies have
been directed toward the highest hu¬
manitarian goals; and

Mr. Fagan:
Mr, President; I would like to beg
the indulgence of Council for a few
moments to place in the record a very
important and very significant edi¬
torial that appeared in the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette on May 10, 1951. The cap¬
tion of the editorial is “Kill This Tax
Proposal.” It says:
“A House Bill to exempt indus¬
trial machinery from assessment for
taxes reflects a local fight In Erie
County and is not deserving of seri¬
ous consideration by the General
Assembly. If it should become law,
It would play havoc with the finances
of political subdivisfon^ throughout
Pennsylvania.
“Allegheny County officials, for
Instance, estimate that such a law
would necessitate an increase of a
mill and a half in the County tax
rate. The load would be shifted from
Industry onto the backs of already
heavily burdened home owners.
"This legislation has won the en¬
dorsement of the Civic Club of Alle¬
gheny County which, in its current
Bulletin, advances this specious argu¬
ment : ‘To include machinery and
equipment as part of the value of
real estate is not just and this prac¬
tice discourages new Industry from
locating in Allegheny County..’
Let me deviate for a moment to say
that this is a falsehood, because in the
last few years the Kelsey-Hayes Com¬
pany has come here and put up a big
factory and employs a large number
of men. Continental Can Company has
come into Mifflin Township and also
employs a large number of men. I
understand that the Ford Company is
now considering locating a large fac¬
tory in Allegheny County. What the
Civic Club has to say about this is
the same thing they had to say about
the hearings that were held by City
Council in the Free Works probe—just
a lot of bologna and no matter how
thin you slice it, it’s still bologna. Con¬
tinuing with the editorial:
“Now that will be news to a lot
of people in this district, and par¬
ticularly to the Chamber of Com¬
merce, which likes to cite the grati¬
fying industrial growth in recent
years. The statute under which real
estate Includes machinery in the com¬
putation of assessed valuation has
been operating in Pennsylvania for
well over a century. It would not
appear to have hampered its develop¬
ment as one cf the greatest indus¬
trial states in the nation.
“The present law does not put this
State at a competitive disadvantage
in attracting new industry. In prac¬
tically all industrial states, machinery
is taxed in one way or another. If,
however, machinery were exempted,
the financial structures of many
Pennsylvania communities would be
completely demoralized. The Assem¬
bly should tell the bill’s sponsor,
Representative Wilmer W. Water¬
house, to take his tax problem back
to Erie, where it originated."
Mr. President, I am going to com¬
mend the publishers of the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette and the writer of the
227
editorial and I am in full accord and
agreement with the courageous and
factual ^editorial on this important
matter.
Now, Mr. President, here is a clip¬
ping from the Pittsburgh Press that
sheds some light on the budget of
John S, Fine. It is written by L. R.
Lindgren, who is special correspondent
of the Pittsburgh Press in Harrisburg.
The caption is: “Tax Shift To Persons’*
(Harrisburg). It says:
“The burden of taxation in Penn¬
sylvania is being shifted from big
business to the 'average guy.'
“The trend probably wouldn’t have
become known, except to the experts
who watch such matters, if Governor
John S. Fine had not asked the
Legislature to pass a flat income tax
with a rate of $5.00 per $1000 of
earnings.
“This bill, which has run into the
roughest kind of going and isn’t in
the clear yet, would set up an en¬
tirely new kind of taxation in Penn¬
sylvania—a direct levy on income,
with no exemptions.
“The Democrats contend no need
has been shown for it—that Gover¬
nor Pine’s $1,200,000,000 two-year
budget can be balanced without it.
They say it is unfair because~“'!t puts
exactly the same rate on the ditch-
digger as upon the millionaire and
would hit even newsboys and baby¬
sitters.
Here is a teacher’s analysis:
“At public hearings on the bill the
other day—an affair fHat Demo¬
crats termed a ‘farce’ a mildman-
nered school teacher from Philadel¬
phia by the name of Francis P.
Jennings gave some enlightening in¬
formation about taxes in Pennsyl¬
vania.
“He started out by saying he be¬
lieves in the principle of taxation
according to the ability to pay. If it
were a graded income tax I would
be for it, but when it is a tax on
people whose pensions are inadequate
today and people who have meager
incomes, I am not for it.
“Then he went on to show what
has been happening to taxes in
Pennsylvania.
“Prom 1940 to 1950, the taxes that
hit the average citizen—^like levies on
liquor, beer, cigarets and pop—in¬
creased by 127 per cent as far as
their rate of return is concerned.
“In the same period, based on the
rate of return, taxes which bear most
heavily on business and high-inc^')
groups went up 49 %.
“The comparison is even more
striking if you match the 1941-43
State Budget with the tax program
proposed by Mr. Pine for 1951-53.
This comparison shows:
“Taxes on low income groups rise
in the rate of return, 237 per cent
of 1941-43.
“Taxes on high-income groups rise
in rate of return, 81 per cent over
1941-43.
“ Tt is clear,’ Mr. Jennings said,
‘that the Governor’s recommended
program would continue and acc le-
rate a trend which has been in evi¬
dence for a decade.
“He made representatives of big
business—like G. Mason Owhtt,
President of the Pennsylvania Manu¬
facturers Assn., cringe when he sug¬
gested, as an alternative to the in¬
come tax, a boost of from four to
10 per cent in the levy on the net
incomes of corporations.
“Back in 1936, the rate was 10%.
But that, you will recall, was a
Democratic, not a Republican or Joe
Grundy, or Mr. Pine or Mr. Duff, and
of course, it is unfortunate that the
people in the primaries in 1950 did not
listen to Mr. Cook from Philadelphia
and Mr. Kunkel, Congressman from
Dauphin Coimty, who told you what
was going to happen.
“Many people thought that wasn't
too much, since the tax is on net
income.
228
“That, Mr. Jennings said, would
not only permit dropping of the in¬
come tax and the pop tax, hut would

service.”
So it took a humble teacher from
Philadelphia to show how you will get
a flogging. I am happy that Mr. L. R.
Lindgren had the courage and the
tenacity to forthright produce this spe¬
cial article for the citizens of Penn¬
sylvania. They know how they are go¬
ing to be flogged by Mr. Fine and his
administration, I want to both con¬
gratulate and mention the Post-Gazette
and the Editor and Mr. Lindgren of
The Pittsburgh Press for giving this
valuable information to the citizens of
Pennsylvania.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: At various times I
have commented, for the Council Rec¬
ord, on news items and editorials ap¬
pearing in our Pittsburgh newspapers.
I again wish to make some comments:
During the past week there have
been printed in the newspapers va¬
rious items regarding State House Bill
775, which would untax machinery.
The facts and figures reported regard¬
ing the effect of this bill in Allegheny
County appear to be correct.
I wish to call attention to the edi¬
torial which appeared in the Pitts¬
burgh Post-Gazette of May 10, 1951,
entitled, “Kill This Tax Proposal.” The
last paragraph reads:
“The present law does not put this
State at a competitive disadvantage
in attracting new industry. In prac¬
tically all industrial states, machinery
is taxed in one way or another. If,
however, machinery were exempted,
the financial structures of many
Pennsylvania communities would be
completely demoralized. The Assem¬
bly should tell the bill’s sponsor,
Representative Wilmer W. Water-
house, to take his tax problem back
to Erie, where it originated.”
I do not know if the other indus¬
trial states tax machinery or not, but
I do know that many of the counties
in the western part of Pennsylvania do
not tax machinery.
A news item states that it Allegheny
County did not tax machinery it would
renuire a mill increase of the
County tax assessment on real estate,
I wonder why the newspapers should
favor a tax on machinery, because
from the figures I have, they would
benefit by the elimination of the tax
on machinery.
These figures are:
Post-Gazette Publishing Co,
Real Estate Assessments_$ 647,410.00
Machinery _ 210,000.00
A 9% mills tax on the
Machinery Assessment_ 2,676.12
Increased IY 2 mills tax on
real estate _ 971.11
A saving of-$ 1,705.01
Press Publishing Co,:
Real Estate Assessment..-$1,317,250.00
Machinery _ 810,380.00
A 978 mills tax on Ma¬
chinery Assessment — 8,002.50
Increased 172 mills tax on
real estate _ 1,975.87
A saving of -$ 6,026.63
In the Pittsburgh Press for May 11th,
1951, there was printed an editorial
entitled, “The Machinery Tax,” from
which I quote these paragraphs:
“The Press agrees any sudden
change in the tax system Is bound
to dislocate local governments which
for years have depended on this
source of funds.
“But we believe also the Commis¬
sioners will be foolish to let the ma¬
chinery tax issue stand as is,* and do
no future planning about it.”
“But there are other communities
in Allegheny County without such
tax assets, and their citizens have to
pay for essential services. They also,
have an interest In the County’s
economic welfare, anq the increase or
229
decline of employment here.
“It also might he pointed out that
industrial communities in Beaver
County, for instance, manage to pay
municipal costs without taxing ma¬
chinery.
“The point is that dependence on
a particular tax source tends to per¬
petuate that tax. And, if that par¬
ticular tax is unwise, the dependence
is unwise.
“Taxing machinery of job-making
Industries is not the wisest tax pol¬
icy. Having relied on such a tax for
so long, it’s probably unwise to wipe
it out all at once. But we hope the
Commissioners are thinking about the
future.’*
In yesterday’s Pittsburgh Press, the
last editorial was: “Too Many Taxes.”
“The Legislature in its wisdom, has
wiped out at least one tax. Levied
on loans of Pennsylvania corporations
by the Pittsburgh School Board, it
brought in $25,000 a year and cost
$45,000 to collect.
“In a way, we hate to see that tax
eliminated. It's a perfect example of
the fact that we have too many
taxes and that some of them defeat
their purpose.’’
'The City of Pittsburgh depends
chiefly for its revenue upon the mill-
age placed upon the assessment of land
and buildings. This is about 66 2/3%
of its current revenue when you omit
the revenue received from its water
service.
67% is from the assessment of land.
43% is from the assessment of build¬
ings.
A careful study should be made to
see that the assessment of land and
buildings is uniform and equal, A
casual check shows that the parcels
of land in the block surrounded by
Grant street, Fourth avenue, Ross
street and Third avenue, shows the
square foot assessment of these parcels
to be 34.28 per square foot; 20,00 per
square foot; 12.13 per square foot;
11.89 per square foot; 11.95 per square
foot; 10.80 per square foot and 6.78
per square foot.
When these remarks are printed in
the Municipal Record, I will send a
copy of the same to the newspapers.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I do not want to get
into this House Bill No. 775 you are
speaking on, but Mr. Fagan did em¬
phasize on the other bill that is before
the Senate today, I heard Mr. Pagan
quote and also Mr. Demmler the fam¬
ous term used, “the Average Guy.” I
might say, around here about two
years ago we coined a phrase, “Little
Joe” and Little Joe got up on his
heels and everybody stood and listened.
Mr. Demmler brings in one side and
Mr. Fagan brings in the other side.
No matter what side would win Little
Joe Is going to pay. Under Mr. Demm-
ler's scheme or under Mr. Fagan’s
scheme, Little Joe is going to pay. After
all, this is the people’s Council that
speaks for Little Joes and Big Joes.
That issue has been brought up here,
not by me but by my colleague and I
am glad he did. He brings in the vic¬
ious, worst tax bill that ever was
placed on the tax books of the State
of Pennsylvania, the so-called Wage
Tax Bill, that passed in the House of
Representatives in Harrisburg, that had
one of them fancy public hearings to
be railroaded out of committee.
Mr. Demmler brought in the figures
on property and machinery and the
values on land and on real estate,
and he made that statement that I
think puts us into this question when
he said the majority of the taxes to
operate this great City of Pittsburgh
comes from lands and buildings and
real estate, which is true. I ask any
member in City Council—I don’t know—
so I ask, the day they pass the so-
called wage tax bill, but does any¬
body know what amount of revenue
that will be returned to the City of
Pittsburgh in the form of wage tax:s
that they take out of the pay en¬
velopes of this great industrial city.
Does anybody know the bill well
enough to know what will come back
here?
230
The City Council of Pittsburgh and
the City Council of Philadelphia should |
apply to the State of Pennsylvania and
demand a public hearing. I am glad '
the Democratic Party is delivering its t
vote solid to oppose this bill. Here is ,
the biggest industrial City in the ^
world, and the Little Joes that manu- i
facture the products are the men that
are being gouged for the five mills out
of their pay. And that is only the be¬
ginning; in five years from now it
will be seven or eight or ten mills.
We have the support of the news¬
papers on the wage tax bill and
Council should start the leadership as
representing the 700,000 people of the
greatest industrial city in the world.
The Labor Unions, the CIO and the AF
of L are waiting for the leadership on
what to do. Back in the City, Pitts¬
burgh is not going to get any relief
for the improvement of our streets or
for the improvement of our dilapidated
water system or in the advancement
of the Pittsburgh Package. We are not
getting any help out of this. But if
the communities get together and pro¬
test, and they only have a week or
two to do it, they will block that bill
and they will not pass that bill if the
communities do not get their fair share
back.
I want to congratulate my colleague,
Mr. Fagan for bringing it up, and may¬
be he will take the leadership of it.
He can do it because he has distingu¬
ished himself as President of both of
our Labor Unions of the City of Pitts¬
burgh.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: I would like to ask
Councilman Demmler how he can fig¬
ure out the Kelsey-Hayes, which is a
very large, well-managed, efficient cor¬
poration, to come in here and put
their plant in Allegheny County. They
have investigated what the land values
are and what the assessments and the
machinery tax, and they have found
out if there are workers available for
the kind of plant they are going to
build. And the Continental Can is
known as one of the most efficient
and best managed corporations in Amer¬
ica. Before his answers I want to say [
to Councilman Leonard I think the
presentations by Senator Holland to
show the increase in corporations in
Pennsylvania proved that the Governor’s
budget is out of line and that he is
asking for more taxes than necessary
to carry on this administration for the
next bl-ennium. But it seems as
though they are bent on putting the
tax on the poor, and as the Lindgren
statement shows they have advanced by
leaps and bounds, and as Mr. Leonard
calls him “Little Joe” has been pay¬
ing through the nose. I think the
Governor is in plenty of difficulty on
his tax and If we keep a little more
pressure and heat on, it will be drop¬
ped before the Session is over.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: I have had no con¬
tact with the Kelsey-Hayes Company
and am not able to answer the ques¬
tion. But I would post another. Why
does the Jones and Laughlin Steel Co.
stay and expand their plant in the
City. The total assessment for 1951 is
$33,759,800, of which the land and
building assessment is $14,378,452, and
the assessment on the machinery is
$19,381,384. Should the City of Pitts¬
burgh and the School Board of the
City tax this machinery I believe the
Jones and Laughlin Steel Company
would have removed their plant from
the City.
I do not agree with the statements
that the burden of the tax on real
estate is excessive. I will agree that
the tax on the improvement assess¬
ment should be reduced but the tax
on the land assessment can be in¬
creased.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: That did not answer
my question about the Kelsey-Hayes
Company, the Ford Company and a
number of others. When you come
down to the final analysis of taxes,
who pays the taxes. The taxes come
out of the sweat and brawn and blood
of the men who work in the mill, the
mine and the factory. It either comes
from the raw material or the finished
product, so it is the guy who sweats
that pays fhe taxes. There isn’t any
doubt about that. The corporations pay
231
the taxes hut where does it come
from? It comes from the men in the
mills and mine and factories. I am in
favor of a graded income tax, I think
that is the fairest of any we have.
The fellow who is able to pay is the
one who should pay the taxes and
there ought to be exemptions. Under
Mr, Pine’s there are no exemptions.
Mr. Weir moved
That the Minutes of Council
of Monday. May 7, 1951, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.
And upon motion of Mr. Weir

not, and I am in favor of them having
their full voting strength at the con¬

Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: With your permission,
I would like to make a motion that
Councilman A. L. Wolk receive from
City Council a rising vote of thanks
for the wonderful “I Am An American
Day” celebration.
I think he is entitled to congratu¬
lations, and also the committees and
everybody who participated. I think it
was one of the finest “I Am An Amer¬
ican Day" celebrations we have ever
had in Pittsburgh. The crowd was
large, and I think the Firemen are
entitled to congratulations for the fine
manner in which they turned out, and
the police for the efficient manner in
which they handled the parade. The
Police and Firemen’s Band was excel¬
lent, as was the United States Mili¬
tary Band from Fort Meade. It was
really an outstanding day, a very large
crowd, and I think the Father of “I
Am An American Day” distinguished
himself with a brilliant speech.
I think he is really entitled to a
rising vote of thanks, and I so move,
Mr. President. (Seconded by Mr. Gal¬
lagher).
Which motion prevailed by a rising
vote.
Mr. Demmler:
Mr. President: Last Monday, at the
meeting of Council, I placed on the
record some comments on the subject
of "Taxation of Machinery.” I Included
excerpts from editorials printed in The
Pittsburgh Press and the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette.
To complete the record, I wish to
insert five paragraphs from an edi¬
torial entitled, "Taxing Machinery”
which was printed in the Pittsburgh
Sun-Telegraph of May 11, 1951:—
"The idea of eliminating county
real estate taxes on machinery in
Pennsylvania is presented in a bill
introduced in the State House of
Representatives by Wilmer W. Water-
house, (R) of Erie.
"This bill if enacted would upset
county budgets all over the Com'
monwealth. . , .
"While we do not agree that ma¬
chinery should be exempted com-
\
pletely from the real estate tax, we
do believe that the recent efforts by
county assessors to increase the as¬
sessments on machinery in Allegheny
County have not been realistic.
“Some of the increases on ma¬
chinery valuations in the triennial
assessment have been reported as
high as 200 per cent, and in some
cases on machines which had been
heavily depreciated over many years.
“We would suggest that county of¬
ficials give careful consideration to
the depreciation factor in setting up
their assessments, because industry
is entitled to fair treatment as is any
other taxpayer.” . . .
I have here a four-page circular on
the matter of “Machinery Assessments”
Issued under the direction of the Board
of County Commissioners of Allegheny
County. On the back page of this
circular is printed the editorial of
the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on May 10,
1951, entitled, “Kill This Tax Proposal.”
For a complete discussion the Commis¬
sioners also should have printed the
editorial of the Pittsburgh Press en¬
titled, “The Machinery Tax” and of the
Pittsburgh Sun - Telegraph entitled,
“Taxing Machinery.”
The entire matter of assessments
needs more careful thought, study and
consideration.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President and Members of Coun¬
cil : I stand on the statement that I
made a week ago today. If machinery
is being overtaxed in Allegheny County,
I cannot understand for the life of me
why the Kelsey-Hayes people would
come here and erect a big factory, and
why the Ford Company and the Conti¬
nental Can Company, and why other
corporations already here are expand¬
ing in Allegheny County, and a lot of
them in and around Mifflin Township,
and McKeesport and Versailles and
other communities in Allegheny County.
It must be a pretty reasonable tax
or you would not find them coming
and erecting big plants, because there
are a lot of other places where they
could be located. I think the tax must
be fair and reasonable or you would
not have an increase in the large
plants.
Mr. Weir moved
That the Minutes of Council of
Monday, May 14, 1951, be approved.
Which motion prevailed.

DEPARTMENT OP LAW
May 25, 1951.
President & Members of Council:
Gentlemen:
In Re: Bill 3755
Cherry way—Salvation Army
Bill No. 3755 was referred to this De¬
partment by the Committee on Finance
for a report. This Bill is a Resolution
authorizing the settlement of the Ap¬
peal of the Salvation Army from the
award of Board of Viewers assessing
benefits for the widening of Cherry
way.
In the widening of Cherry way 20
feet was taken from the properties on
the lower side and the properties on
the upper side of the street were as¬
sessed benefits.
The Pittsburgher Hotel, 91 front feet,
was assessed at the rate of $80.50 per
front foot—$7300.00;
The Law & Finance Bldg., 110 feet
at $70.00 per front foot—$7700.00;
A suspension of the rule to
allow the second and third readings
and final passage of the resolution.
Which motion prevailed.
And the rule having been suspended,
the resolution was read a second and
third times, and upon final passage
the ayes and noes were taken, and
being taken were:
Ayes:—Messrs.
Davis
Demmler
Fagan
Gallagher
Leonard
Weir
Wolk
Duff, (Pres’t
Pro tern.)
Ayes 8. Noes none.
And a majority of the votes ol
Council being In the affirmative, the
resolution passed finally.
Also
Bill No. 3756. Resolution au¬
thorizing the City Solicitor to consent
to the entry of judgment against the
City of Pittsburgh in the sum of $1,-
000.00 in satisfaction of suit by Isla H.
Woods at No. 121 April Term, 1949, for
demolition of dwelling house at 6544
Fifth avenue.
Fidelity Trust Co., 171 feet at $50.00
plus per front foot—$8600.00 (the depth
of the Fidelity Trust property Is only
39 feet for one-half of the distance and
60 feet for the remaining).
Salvation Army, 120 front feet at $80
—$9600.00.
The Salvation Army property fronts
on the Boulevard of the Allies with
only a service entrance on Cherry way.
A service entrance for a charitable, non¬
commercial building is not of as great
importance as if this property were
used for a commercial use.
We feel that the Jury would be most
sympathetic to the charitable nature
of the Salvation Army. Counsel for the
Salvation Army has offered to compro¬
mise this case by payment to the City
of the sum of $5,000.00. It is the opin¬
ion of this department that such a
settlement would be proper.
Very truly yours,
Bennett Rodgers,
First Asst. City Solicitor.

Mr. Leonard:
On Bill No. 3761, File No. 1672 and
Bill No, 3762, File No. 1673, I want to
qualify my reasons for voting No on
these, the same as I did in Com¬
mittee last Tuesday. I want to be con¬
sistent in my thinking as I have al-
way done as a member of this body.
I raised the question several years
ago when we were taking over the
property, known as the Marshall Man¬
sion on Fifth avenue, for park pur¬
poses. I said at that time that I did
not think the City of Pittsburgh
should go too far into return more
taxes to the city. Later I objected
to taking several acres of land, known
as the R. B. Mellon Estate, for public
park purposes. If you will read the
records, they contain my reasons for
voting against the acceptance of these
gifts.
I am just as much in favor of nice
places and of public parks as any
member of this body or anybody in
public office, but I think there are
needs for recreational facilities in other
localities. Since we took the first piece
of property on Shady avenue, I ob¬
jected, and we have since added other
pieces, and I have been much dis¬
turbed about it.
As I stated in Committee, this com¬
ing January 1st, I will be “Private
Citizen, Local Taxpayer,” and I am
trying to put through my mind what
is going to happen to the tax struc¬
ture of City of Pittsburgh if we keep
removing property from the tax books
and placing them as public parks, etc.
I can say what is in my heart and in
my mind. I am one of the youngest
members of this body and I think I
was the youngest member when I was
elected, and I am one of the youngest
members today, and I think I will be
the youngest member to serve and to
retire. But I do think that in retiring
from public office I still have a civic
duty and that duty is to speak your
peace and do what you can to help
your community.
I am and have been very much dis¬
turbed and it is not politics, because it
is a bi-partisan system that both
political parties backed. But take out
triangle where some of the finest Im-
provements of any city in the world
are going along, hut let us look at
the amount of money we are removing
from the City Treasury and taking
off our local tax structures, with our
public parking authorities and with
our Mellon Park next to the Mellon
Bank and the Aluminum Company of¬
fice Building, a hundred thousand
dollar bite from the City Treasury,
four pieces of parking property, which
is going to go into some more hun¬
dreds of thousands along with the
other property down at the Point, also
exempted.
We go out Fifth avenue and I had
the honor and pleasure of sponsoring
the zoning ordinances that induced
the property owners to buil^ apart¬
ment houses in the Shadyside and
Fifth avenue districts of Pittsburgh. I
did not do that for the purpose of
continuing to build parks on the left
hand side going out, known as Mellon
Park. That is the name it always had
before it was used for public purposes.
You have put in a nice playground
and tennis courts and a good base¬
ball field, and that Is what is needed
and very much needed in that com¬
munity for the people around East
Liberty—and they are using it. It is
a very much used playground. Now,
we are expanding across the street and
continuing to take property there. We
started off with the Marshall mansion—
the Arts and Crafts Center. That is
fine and wonderful for culture. And
then we moved in and took the Scaife
mansion for a garden center. Has any¬
body the figures how much it takes
to keep these two developments, the
cost, without the loss of taxes, and
it takes a lot of Little Joe's taxes to
keep it going. Now we are expanding
and it looks like we are out to take
the entire block. That is another thing
to look at. That is more money going
off the tax book—less each year. It
coats more for the little real estate
operator to keep up the so-called parks,
I am not asking anyone or anybody,
as far as I am concerned the people
arc all friends of mine, hut I am very
much disturbed about this being given
as perpetual leases and it cannot be
used for anything but park purposes.
There are investors and good real
estate operators who are taxpayers of
the City and they want to invest and
they have faith to invest and will build
homes as they are doing on the Knox
Estate today. We are taking acres of
ground, and I am going to speak
plainly—it is nothing but building me¬
morials. I do not object to building
memorials and I think it is fine, but
I do not think we should do that un¬
less there is an endowment to help
keep up that ground and that memorial.
Sunday a week ago, it was a beautiful
day and a lot of people were out in
their shirt sleeves and their sun suits
and I could not count a hand full of
people in Mellon Park. We are work¬
ing backwards on this. We have on
the North Side and on the South Side
and in Lawrenceville, and Larimer ave¬
nue and in the Hill District, con¬
gested slum areas where the popula¬
tion is heavy, and that is where ju¬
venile delinquency breeds. We are tak¬
ing money we could use and we are
even taking tax money from these
slum areas to keep up parks over on
Fifth avenue that we should not have
to do. We have no right to more
money for park purposes there. If it
takes ten thousand dollars to keep it
up that ten thousand dolars out in
Larimer avenue would help a lot better.
We can make better citizens in Lawrence¬
ville and in Larimer avenue than we
can on Fifth avenue where rents are
$150, $200 and $250 a month. That is
not fair. We should put playgrounds in
the slum areas and in districts where
the lower class and the middle class
people reside. I live in the Tenth
Ward. Years ago Council said Arsenal
Park and Leslie Park were limited to
Lawrenceville. They have been holler¬
ing for a playground in the heavily
populated district for years and what
happens? They give them a park in
Lawrenceville that they ought to be
ashamed of. They call it a parklet.
There is not enough room for the
children. But over on Fifth avenue
they take lots of land off the tax
books. Sure you are doin&. a good
thing but you are not helping where
it is needed most. I read on Saturday
an editorial in the Pittsburgh Sun-
Telegraph and it commented on this
question, but the most important
thing was the Metropolitan Planning
257
Commission, a bill introduced by Sena¬
tor Holland from Pittsburgh. That is
the thing we should be in back of.
I am not prepared to speak on that
subject with the facts and figures,
but shortly I am going to come be¬
fore this body with plans for the need
of a metropolitan district. That is
future planning that the Senator in¬
troduced into the Legislature. I
brought the question uP two years ago,
but now there is a bi-partisan system
of government, and now should be the
time to make the City of Pittsburgh a
metropolitan city and take our right¬
ful place as a metropolitan city. We
are a second-class city today; and we
are missing the boat. We are not
eliminating the duplication system of
government. There are 129 taxing bod¬
ies, boroughs and townships and we
are a second-class City in the County
of Allegheny, and the duplication of
government and every year it is getting
worse. Good leadership will not be
afraid to work with these little com¬
munities that they call their own
empires and try to build them to¬
gether. Later I am going to come in
with a lot of facts and figures and
I think, as one of the retiring public
officials I am going to be one of the
leaders in the metropolitan city the
same as the City of Los Angeles. It can
be worked out and shown that the
taxes will be much cheaper when they
eliminate the much duplication of gov¬
ernment.
I have had a lot of experience on
account of being a member of the
County Housing Authority and on ac¬
count of being the present Chairman
of the Redevelopment Authority. We
Intend to put a lot of time and effort
into it, and have the civic organiza¬
tions and labor organizations and
other organizations to bring out the
leadership of the metropolitan district
and quit being a second-class city,
Mr. President, I spoke longer than I
intended to, and no doubt you will
have to put up with me quite a few
times within the next six months, be¬
cause I think I can bring in some con¬
structive comments to City Council.
These are some of the reasons for
voting No on Bill Nos. 3761 and 3762.
Mr. Demmler;
Mr. President: In the Committee
meeting last Tuesday, I spoke in favor
of these two properties to be added to
Mellon Park. These two properties con¬
stitute a total of 3.41 acres. I regret
that on account of having to fly and
spend Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
in Albany and Buffalo, I did not have
time to get the figures that I would
have liked to have gathered together
to support what I said last Tuesday.
When you go out Fifth avenue to
Mellon Park, to which has been added
the Marshall House, the Scaife House
and now the property which is known
as the Frew property and the Woods
property, you will find that by the
City accepting this property and estab¬
lishing it definitely as a park, the sur¬
rounding area has shown a decided im¬
provement in new construction being
put around it. I would also refer to
the house which the three taxing bodies
owned on Beechwood boulevard. We
were unable to find a buyer for quite
a while for that property and finally
was sold when Mellon Park was finally
established, and now there are other
new buildings being placed in the very
same neighborhood.
We do not have an exceptional a-
mount of open space or area which we
can use for parks and recreational fa¬
cilities. We still have sufficient vacant
area on which can be built apartment
houses, single houses and multiple
houses, and we can well afford to take
off our tax books the few properties
which we have taken off. I will grant
that the large properties that were
taken off downtown in the First Ward
which will be in the parking area, but
these figures in assessment will show
a very definite increase again when the
Gateway Center project begins to be
completed.
We are not a second-class city; we
are a City of the second-class of Penn¬
sylvania, and as an old city we need
not make apologies, to any of the other
cities in this nation. I am proud of
my City and when I go about and see
other cities, I find we are as far along,
if not further along, than many of
these other cities, and I see no objec¬
tion at all to Mellon Park and these
two properties that are before us in
these two bills.
258
I might also state that when you
note the building permits for new con-
struction and alterations and repairs
for 1950 total $92,135,871, surely these
building permits and new construction
should be reflected in additional assess¬
ments, not on the buildings particu¬
larly, but especially on the surrounding
area on the land valuations.
As I stated in Council two weeks
ago, there needs to be a more careful
and systematic study made of the as¬
sessments of the City.
I have no regret to vote for these
two bills that are before us today.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: In answer to Mr.
Dcmmler, these are two more pieced
of property to be added. It is not the
present two pieces of property. We
are continually adding to it. I know
what is going on. Shady avenue and
Fifth at the corner is the Marshall
house, and we come down Shady to
Fifth and around Fifth avenue to in¬
tersect with the original piece of prop¬
erty we took. If you go out Fifth ave¬
nue to Point Breeze you will see next
to the home that is on the corner of
Beechwood and Fifth a for sale sign.
I know people who have inquired about
the purchase. There will be another
piece of property later that the City
will take over at the corner of Fifth
and Beechwood and that is next to be
added to this park. I went up around
here and that is more taxes coming
off.
In answer to Mr. Demmler I want to
say that nothing has been built up
there since the park has been there.
Nothing is built there. Real Estate
men will Invest and money investors
will invest for homes—for good homes,
and property is needed to build fifty
thousand dollar homes. They took the
Thaw Estate and the Winter Estate
and tore down a few homes and de¬
veloped them into home sites and
people invested, and that is exactly
what I am talking about—do not take
all that ground for public park pur¬
poses. I am not talking about apart¬
ment buildings. I am talking about
homes so that we may then get the
money back into the coffer. I do not
think Mr. Demmler can deny this,
because he is such a great man in
the Henry George Plan, and I respect
him for it. My interest is no different
than his. It is to get the money into
the City treasury. When I came into
this Council twelve years ago our as¬
sessed valuation was $1,280,000,000 in
the City of Pittsburgh. After the First
and Second Wards were cut and the
Ward where I live and the Ward where
Davis lives and some of the other
wards they put up the a.ssessment on
the residences and other places and
still that was an increase in taxes and
they had to pay more taxes. They cut
them in the First and Second Wards
where most of our real estate taxes
come from. Today with the big boom
going on and all the apartments on
Fifth avenue and the homes on Stan¬
ton Heights our assessed valuation is
back to $1,200,000,000 a year. When I
first became a member of this Coun¬
cil right after the depression up to the
first of this year the assessment was
not $1,200,000,000 a year. That is all
I have to say.
Mr. Wolk:
Mr. President: I did not desire to
speak on this matter but I cannot let
this time pass without saying some¬
thing in defense of this Mellon Park
improvement.
At the outset let it be made clear
that Mellon Park is not in competition
with any other small park in the City
of Pittsburgh. I have voted for every
one of the community parklets and I
want it to be made clear that if any¬
body offers to the City of Pittsburgh
ground for the purpose of creating
small parklets in other sections of
the City, as mentioned by Mr. Leonard,
or even if we create them ourselves,
I am for that, because it is best to
have a large number of small parks
throughout the City. Let us go back to
Mellon Park. There is a wrong concep¬
tion being given, and I am only speaking
because I want the record to be clear.
Mr. R. K. Mellon and his sister con¬
veyed free to the City of Pittsburgh
the so-called Mellon homestead. The
Marshall family conveyed free to the
City of Pittsburgh the so-called Mar¬
shall home. Mr. and Mrs. Scaife con¬
veyed free to the City of Pittsburgh
259
the so-called Scaife home. We did not
buy any one of these properties. They
were given to us for the purposes set
forth in their deeds of conveyance. What
is the Marshall home and the Scaife
home being used for? Two fine homes
that are being operated by a non¬
profit corporation who pay all the ex¬
penses of the internal up-keep, and all
that the City provides is the heat and
light and outside maintenance, and
they are used for the purpose of the
ordinary human being of the City of
Pittsburgh who has a desire to im¬
prove himself in the arts and crafts.
Here is an opportunity for the ordi¬
nary person to express himself in any
of the arts and crafts. We are one of
the first cities in the United States
to give this opportunity, not only to
the people who live in that area, but
to the people throughout the City of
Pittsburgh, to come here, and, if they
so desire, to get instruction and ex¬
press themselves and have the results
of their expression exhibited. I say it
is one of the finest things the people
could do for its people in the Mellon
Park property. The Garden Center has
taken the old garage, the homestead
having been removed, and rehabilitated
it at a cost of over $25,000, which
they raised as an organization. All
we have given to them is the lease for
twenty years at one dollar a year and
they pay the entire maintenance cost.
Here gather women from every part of
the community who have a desire to
learn and be instructed and thereafter
express themselves in gardening, which
is one of the finest endeavors which
any man or woman can participate in.
I do not know the exact number in
their organization but I think it runs
into the thousands. I say to you it is
a wonderful proposition that the City
has done to provide a place where
the men and women, practically every¬
one in the community, can improve
themselves in the field of gardening
and flowers and plants.
These two other small properties
were taken over for taxes by the City
of Pittsburgh, with the County and
the School District having their per¬
centage of interest. These three bodies
have joined together to convey to
the City the small area in order that
this small park can be completed.
The day is going to come when across
the street, the Mellon Recreation Cen¬
ter, will be one of the finest in the
entire Country. It will be the finest
expression of the use of a square
foot for recreational purposes—better
than any other in the entire coun¬
try, and the children will gather
there from all over the City and their
parents will become attracted to this
adult park, with its facilities for
the expression of the arts and crafts
and gardening across the street.
As their children play, these adults
will cross the street and use this small
park. Instead of being disturbed about
the small amount of taxes we will lose,
remember this, I know of cases
where men have given away properties
to non-profit organizations and we
lose the taxes. They could have used
a non-profit organization with the
same objective in the Marshall House
and the Scaife home and we would
have lost the taxes. Why make a dis¬
tinction because the City accepts these
gifts with generosity in our hearts,
I say for the record that we should
not allow it to go out to the public
that we are not grateful for these very
generous gifts that are made to the
City of Pittsburgh and are now be¬
ing used for such fine objectives. I
hope that as a result of their generosity
there will be other men and women of
this community that will make gifts
to the City, and I hope in areas of
the City about which Mr. Leonard
speaks, because I will be 100% in
favor of those areas for public park
and recreational purposes.
Mr, Leonard:
Mr. President: In answer to Mr. Wolk.
it Is true and it was very nice for
people to turn over their property to
the City of Pittsburgh, but they do
not state what it costs us. Nobody has
done us any favor by giving us prop¬
erty and nobody will ever do us any
favor by turning over their property
to the City unless they leave an en-
downment to keep it up. It takes
money out of our tax revenue.
Mr. President, it is a fine place
across the street. It is a fme ball field
260
and a fine recreation site, and the place
on the other side is flowers, and is a
memorial, and as Mayor Scully said,
it will give the tired business man a
chance to go there and relax and listen
to the tweedle of the birds. We are
taking the cake and somebody else is
eating it. I am speaking of the person
who can only afford to pay fifty dollars
a month. I am speaking of the home
owner that makes up the masses. This
is a city of mill workers and factory
workers and high finance. Because
there is going to be another Wall
Street. You give all this to the ones
who can pay $150, $200 and $300 a
month for rent or own a fifty thous¬
and dollar home, while you say to the
plasterer and the laborer, here you
take the parklet and let your kids
play on the street. As Mayor Scully
said, it is a place for the tired btisi-
ness man, but you do not need a
whole block and you do not need to
add to it. We will never know what
the actual cost Is to keep it up.
When anybody turns property over to
the City, the City should not accept it
unless they say here is so much to
keep it up in maintenance and what
you are losing in taxes. And I am
objecting to it in answer to Mr. Wolk.
We are doing a fine thing to the high
income bracket group but not to the
fellow who carries the lunch bucket.
When you say “parklet” can anybody
tell me what it is? I have looked
in the dictionary and cannot find it.
It is not in Webster’s.
Mr. Denimler:
Mr. President: So the record may
have the actual figures, the City of
Pittsburgh’s highest assessment was in
the year 1933, and amounted to $1,-
211,637,830; the lowest assessment on
lands and buildings was in 1947, when
it was $961,462,404. Twelve years ago
the total assessment was $1,098,771,590.
For 1951 the assessment is $1,017,885,-
754, or $81,000,000 less than twelve
years ago.
I might state here that in my opin¬
ion I do not see why there should
have been such a great cut in the
assessment on the land values in
Pittsburgh in the last twelve years.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: In answer to Mr.
Demmler, it is a little worse than I
thought it was. You got the records.
It was in 1933 that the assessment
was $1,200,000,000. This makes my
statement a little more right. With
all the building that is going on the
assessment is still less.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: As the introducer of
these two bills, No. 3761 and No. 3762,
I think what Council is doing is the
sane, sensible and reasonable thing,
and I do not know of any park
whether it is a park or parklet that
you have to have a ticket to get into.
They are all free parks, as I understand
it, whether you are “Little Joe” or
“Big Mike.” You have the right to go
into the parks and enjoy yourself. If
you want to go and play tennis there
are regulations and you have to com¬
ply. If you want to play baseball you
have to notify them and get permission.
I know there have been good games
at Mellon Park, some of the biggest—
Pitt, Notre Dame, W. and J., and
others, and there have been big
crowds there and the people have had
a chance to see good games. Eddy
states that on “I Am An American
Day” there were few people in the
Mellon Park, but Abe Wolk was the
great attraction over in West Park
on the North Side, and the biggest
crowd since 1948 was at Forbes Field.
I say, let the people enjoy themselves
and have a little fun.
About the parklets; I know Jim
Hillman very well. He was in the coal
business for years, and I think Jim
Hillman is a man of honor, integrity
and ability and he has contributed
money to the City of Pittsburgh so
that we might have parklets in the
City for people to go and play.
I am not going to condemn people
who turn over their proper^ to the
City that they could have sold and
made money on it. The Scaifes, the
Gillespies and the Hillmans have done
a very magnanimous thing, and I am
for bigger and better parks and more
amusement for both “Little Joes” and
all the rest to enjoy.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I did not condemn
and will not condemn anybody who
tries to do anything good tor the City
of Pittsburgh. I am only raising ques¬
tions. In my opinion it is not the
right thing for the City to accept un¬
less they set up an endowment fund
to finance the upkeep.
At this time Mr. Duff asked Mr. Wolk

Which was read.
Mr, Fagan moved
A suspension of the rule to
allow the second and third readings
and final passage of the bill.
Which motion prevailed.
And the bill was read a second time.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: On Bill No. 3771, File
No. 1675, appropriating $70,920.00 to the
Department of City Planning, I think
there was a motion offered in Finance
Committee last week that there should
be a letter from the Urban Redevelop¬
ment Authority explaining whether the
City could receive any money from the
State or Federal Governments with re¬
spect to the money they are advancing
and would be used by the Urban Re¬
development Authority on this so-called
bill. Has there been any report?
The Chair:
Mr. Leonard, I understood that letter
would be furnished by the gentleman
who appeared before the Committee.
However, I talked with the gentleman
who appeared before the Committee
with respect to this bill, and I am in¬
formed that so much planning and _ so
much service that are furnished by the
Urban Redevelopment Authority in re¬
spect to redevelopment of areas for
housing purposes, that the Federal Gov¬
ernment makes a grant and out of
which grant the City of Pittsburgh
will receive, in respect to work which
is now contemplated, the sum of twen¬
ty thousand dollars.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr, President: What about the State?
The Chair;
So far as other developments of the
Urban Redevelopment Authority, nota¬
bly the Gateway Center and the Jones
and Laughlin Steel Company, such im¬
provements fail to fall within the grant,
and therefore, there will be no reim¬
bursement as regards those matters.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: That is the Gateway
Center and the Jones and Laughlin
Steel Company improvement.
The Chair:
That Is right.
’ Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: This money that was
asked for, was for the Geodetic Survey
and for part ol the Master Plan, and I
would not say this would include the
Gateway Center and the Jones and
Laughlin expansion. To some extent it
would include expansion and a certain
amount could come from the Urban
Redevelopment, but what is in my mind
is for new work.
The Chair:
I take it a part of the appropria¬
tion will be used for the preparation
of plans in respect to the general zon¬
ing law which will be subnfitted to
Council for action,
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I want to contradict
the Urban Redevelopment Authority. I
do not like to do it, but I am also a
member of Council and I do not think
267
Council should be asked to pass any
bills unless they are given the true
picture. You have been given the wrong
information, Mr. Chairman. I want to
explain that the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and the Federal Govern¬
ment will grant you at least one per
cent of the cost of your Master Plan
for any particular development. For
instance, the redevelopment program In
the Second and Third Wards of Pitts¬
burgh—say that would be seven million
dollars, which will be much more. If
that were seven million dollars, the
State of Pennsylvania will return to the
City of Pittsburgh, not to the Urban
Redevelopment Authority, about seventy
thousand dollars. If you recall, Mr.
Woods, in Committee the other day
mentioned that seventy thousand dol¬
lars will probably be involved in the
Master Plan. I do not like to stand
up here and talk about these things
tmless I have the proof, but for Coun¬
cil’s information, and I would rather
not clutter up the Council's records
with the letter, but I will ask the Clerk
to read a letter addressed to myself,
dated September 8, 1951, in regard to
the same question for Allegheny Coun¬
ty. I would ask that this not go into
the record at the present time, unless
you insist.
The Chair:
The statute with respect to the Urban.
Redevolpment Authority provides that
the City Planning Commission shall pre¬
pare the plans and studies of areas
which are suitable for redevelopment.
That is the duty that falls upon the
Planning Commission by that statute.
So, in respect to that work we have no
right to call upon the Urban Redevelop¬
ment Authority.
Mr. Leonard;
Mr, President: The Urban Redevelop¬
ment Authority has a right to supply
Council with information. The other
day the County Urban Redevelopment
Authority received a certain amount of
money from the Federal Government,
but we are not turning it over to the
County Planning Commission, we are
turning it in to the County, and it, in
turn, to the Planning Commission, This
is the City’s money we are taking, and
I do not want to see this money come
back and not be able to transfer it to
the City. I am talking about State
funds. There is a certain amount you
can get back from the State. You have
already mentioned twenty thousand dol¬
lars. It will be considerably more than
twenty thousand dollars. I am telling
you of this ninety-three thousand dol¬
lars, seventy thousand dollars can come
from the State of Pennsylvania and can
be paid back to the City of Pittsburgh.
That Is the point I am trying to raise.
We should not give a blank check. We
do not have the right to pass this
legislation until we have real proof
from the Authority telling us we will
get a certain amount back. It is the
taxpayers’ money, and this is a chance
to get some of this loose money.
The Chair:
I am in favor of getting anything the
City is entitled to. Do you wish to
make a motion?
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I want that letter read.
(The Clerk read letter addressed
to Edward J. Leonard dated Sep¬
tember 8, 1950, from Francis A.
Pitkin of the State Board.)
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I think you should at
least hold this bill up and not pass It
finally today. The letter specifically said
the Allegheny County Master Plan and
it should be the same thing In the City
of Pittsburgh, and if you pass this bill
without an imderstandlng with the Ur¬
ban Redevelopment Authority, you are
going too far.
The Chair:
I wish to be fully informed In all
aspects of the matter. Is there a mo¬
tion to lay the bill on the table.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: There Is nothing
wrong. It is Just in good faith.
The Chair:
Is there any danger of the salaries
of these employees not being met? I
would suggest that Council adjourn
today’s meeting until Wednesday after¬
noon at 2:00 o’clock, when we will have
full information on the point along the
line Mr. Leonard has stated.
268
Mr. Wolk:
Mr. President: That is all right, If
you do it that way.
And the bill as read a second time
was agreed to.
Mr. Leonard moved

Gentlemen:
The Committee on Finance of Council
took action on May 29, 1951, affirma¬
tively recommending Council Bill No.
3771 (51), and requested a report from
the Urban Redevelopment Authority as
to whether it will reimburse the City
from funds obtained from the Federal
Government.
This matter was taken up with the
Urban Redevelopment Authority, and
we are in receipt this morning of a
copy of a letter signed by John P.
Robin, Executive Director of the Au¬
thority, addressed to your Committee,
reporting upon the question of reim¬
bursement from funds obtained from
the Federal Government.
We trust this is in complete compli¬
ance with the Resolution of May 29,
1951.
Yours very truly,
C. Ronal Woods,
Planning Director.

URBAN REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
OP PITTSBURGH
520 City County Building
June 6, 1951.
Honorable John T. Duff, Jr.
Chairman, Committee on Finance
City Council
City of Pittsburgh
Dear Mr. Duff:
In response to your inquiry, I would
like to set forth some facts about State
and Federal aid available for the prep¬
aration of a community master plan
and for specific redevelopment area
planning. It is our hope to thus be
of assistance to your Honorable Body
in your considerations of continued ap¬
propriations for the expenses incurred
by the City Planning Commission in¬
cident to the City’s master plan.
The rules and regulations of the Slum
Clearance and Redevelopment Division
of the Federal Housing and Home Fin¬
ance Agency specifically prohibit the
use of funds advanced by that agency
in the preparation of a City’s master
plan. I’he theory of this regulation is
that the development of a master plan
is a local responsibility, and an earnest
274
f
actual desire of a community to im¬
prove itself.
Advance planning funds may be used
for the specific planning of redevelop¬
ment projects. The Authority is cur¬
rently making application for such an
advance for the Lower Hill area, with
the approval of Council, and if its ap¬
plication is approved by the Federal
agency, will make It possible to reim¬
burse the City for $19,500 In services
to be rendered by the staff of the
Planning Commission.
We are informed that the State Plan¬
ning Board does permit an allocation
of not more than one per cent of total
redevelopment cost for the expense of
master plan preparation. However, the
entire allocation for Pittsburgh under
^ the State Housing Assistance Act of
1949, which Is $1,000,000, is now com¬
mitted for the actual work of redevelop¬
ment in the lower Hill. This commit¬
ment was made with the approval of
I your Honorable Body.
This $1,000,000 is only a portion of
the non-Federal contribution which will
be necessary to make the Lower Hill
redevelopment a reality. The City will
also be required to match Federal
funds, and consequently if any portion
of the $1,000,000 would be diverted to
paying the expenses of the master plan,
the City would find it necessary to add
an equivalent amount to its contribu¬
tion. The transaction would thus be
merely a transfer of funds from one
City pocket to another.
Incidentally, all such monies are not
free gifts.
They add to the total project cost,
which must be subsequently liquidated
by all the governmental agencies con¬
cerned, so it is hardly prudent to at¬
tempt to increase them unnecessarily.
Council will have a full opportunity
to consider all of this financing in de¬
tail when a definite redevelopment pro¬
posal for the Lower Hill comes before
it, as is required by law.
The Redevelopment Authority, unlike
any other similar agency In the nation,
has paid its own operating costs in full.
No City revenue goes to its support,
hOT will such be required in the future.
It has emphasized projects which re¬
quired no public subsidy of any kind,
and hopes to develop several similar re¬
development areas In the future—^whlch
add, I might point out, many millions
of dollars to the City’s tax rolls.
To do so, we must have the full co¬
operation of an effective and function¬
ing City Planning Commission and a
sympathetic City Council—and we are
happy that we have had both in full
measure.
Very truly yours,
John P. Robin,
Executive Director
Which was read, received and filed.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: The report Just read
is an explanation of the request for
funds for the Master Plan. As I under¬
stand the letter, just hearing it, the
Director of the Urban Redevelopment
Authority points out a lot of things
which I think is needed in the files
of Council. I may not understand It
yet, but there is one point I raised,
and that is that one per cent of the
money is returnable to the City of
Pittsburgh. If the City of Pittsburgh
wants to give it back to the Urban Re¬
development Authority, as explained in
the letter, that is alright. I for one
would be in favor of giving it back.
I raised the point on the one per cent,
in particular, because Mr. Woods stated
that approximately seventy thousand
dollars would be needed for the Mas¬
ter Plan. I dc not know whether he
used the term “Geodetic Survey,” but
he said several things, pointing out
that $70,000 would be needed; and I
raised the question about the one per
cent. I repeat again—seven million dol¬
lars for development of the Hill District
would be seventy thousand dollars, cal¬
culated at one per cent. If we ad¬
vanced seventy thousand dollars and
are able to get it back, we should show
that in the record of Council. I raised
the question to protect the rights of
Council as the appropriating body must
be kept posted on what the Authority
does. As one member, I do not care
to vote for anything unless I know the
purpose of the funds, I call your at¬
tention to that, because I am a mem¬
ber of the Urban Redevelopment Au-
275
thorlty of the County of Allegheny. I
know we would never dare ask that
the County Commissioners vote any¬
thing unless we had full explanation
on what it is for, and if we had a
chance to be reimbursed.
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr. President: I made inquiry as to
this seventy thousand dollars the Plan¬
ning Commission requested, and like
Mr. Leonard, I was under the impres¬
sion it was for the geodetic and top¬
ographic survey, but I am informed
that is practically completed. This is
for the Master Plan.
The Chair:
As I understand the law, the State
of Pennsylvania has appropriated one
million dollars for slum clearance.
Against that, if they pay the City nine¬
teen thousand dollars for planning, it
will be taken off the million dollars.
So, rather than do that, we want the
entire million dollars to apply to the
project up there. It seems if we make
it up one way or another, it is better
to start on the project than to with¬
hold nineteen thousand dollars.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: It doesn’t mean that
the projects have to be planned. You
may plan that this year and may not
build the development for two years.
The reason for financial assistance —
there is a special act for it. One mil¬
lion nine hundred thousand dollars has
been allocated to Allegheny County; one
million is to the City, and the other
to the County outside the City.
And the bill as read a third time was
agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
pass finally?’*
The ayes and noes were taken agree¬
ably to law, and were:
Ayes:—^Messrs.
Davis
Demmler
Pagan
Gallagher
Leonard
Weir
Wolk
Duflf, (Pres’t

And a majority of the votes of Coun¬
cil being in the affirmative, the bill
passed finally.

transmitting a resolution to Council.^
Which was read, received and filed.
Also
Bill No. 3854. Resolved, That
the Directors of the Departments of
the City of Pittsburgh, with the ad¬
vice and the consent of the Mayor, be

within their discretion, to establish

skeleton forces for offices of the City
Government within their respective de¬

Mr. Fagan moved
276
That the amendment of the
Finance Committee be agreed to.
Which motion prevailed.
And the resolution, as amended in
Committee and agreed to by Council,
was read.
Mr. Fagan moved
That Rule 8 be suspended, pro¬
viding for the mailing of printed
copies of all ordinances and resolutions
to each member of Council, after the
return of such papers from Committee,
at least 48 hours previous to their
final consideration by Council.
Which motion prevailed,
Mr. Fagan moved
A suspension of the rule to
allow the second and third readings
and final passage of the resolution.
Which motion prevailed.
And the rule having been suspended,
the resolution was read a second time.
Mr. Fagan:
Bill No. 3854 has been given a lot
of consideration by the members of
Council for a considerable time. Be¬
cause most offices and business places,
both in large and small industry, have
a five-day week as well as the Federal.
State and County governments, there
have been many requests from City
employees, especially the salaried em¬
ployees, and of course the other per
diem employees have made their re¬
quests for shorter working hours; but
there are a lot of ramifications that
enter into this situation, Mr. Presi¬
dent. There Is a City Charter, as well
as certain departments of the City
government that are governed by leg¬
islative action of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, that gave the Com¬
mittee and the members of Council a
lot of things to think about before
they decided to present this legislation
that is now before Council. It is pos¬
sible that some employees of other de¬
partments of the City government may
feci that the five-day week applies to
them, which it does not.
It may be that we are going slight¬
ly out on a limb in passing this leg¬
islation. I hope that the salaried em¬
ployees, if this resolution is passed,
use good Judgment and that they will
be loyal employees in seeing that the
work is always at least current, be¬
cause, after all, we have an obligation
to the citizens of the City of Pitts¬
burgh to give them a good, clean, hon¬
est administration and to see that
every tax dollar is spent in the inter¬
est of the citizens of this great city
of ours,
I have always been an advocate of
shorter hours. Of course, you cannot
measure clerical work like you can
in mining a ton of coal or loading a
ton of coal or driving an entry, but
my experience in that industry, that
when the industry went to shorter
hours production increased and costs
were lower. Of course, there is a wide
diversification from a coal miner and
somebody sitting at a desk operating a
typewriter or taking shorthand or re¬
cording taxes or making decisions that
are of great importance to the great
City of Pittsburgh, but I just say these
few words as a caution to the salaried
employees. We know we cannot make
this kind of a regulation for parks
and recreation, and the police and fire¬
men and for the other departments of
the City government, and I hope that
they will appreciate that we are trying
to do the reasonable and honorable
thing for City employees. I hope that
it will increase their loyalty to their
City government. I am not speaking of
political loyalty, I am speaking of the
loyalty that they owe to the citizens
and taxpayers of the City of Pittsburgh.
As far as I am concerned, there is
nothing political in the action that I
am going to take this afternoon. It is
done in the interest of good, honest
service to the people of the City
of Pittsburgh.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I Just want to men¬
tion, it is the philosophy of the Amer¬
ican people, and it has been proven
true in every Instance that^ shorter
hours and better pay has Increased
production tremendously in the United
States, and that goes for the office
worker, the mill worker, the coal miner
and the plasterer. High wages and
shorter hours has doubly increased
production.
277
Mr. Davis:
Mr. President: I was criticized In the
newspaper when it said it was a po^
litical move. I am a new member in
Council but I have always been for
shorter hours and I have worked long
hours, and I know what they are, and
when I suggested to Council—it was in
Council a long time before I even
thought of becoming a member of
Council — to give a five-day week, I
did not present this resolution as a po¬
litical move. Some of the newspapers
said I was just a newly elected Coun¬
cilman, but I did not put it in for
any political motives, I know enough
as a former Ward Chairman,
And the resolution was read a third
time, and upon final passage, the ayes
and noes were taken, and being taken
were:
Ayes:—^Messrs.
Davis

Pagan

Leonard

Ayes 8, Noes none.
And a majority of the votes of Coun»

tion passed finally.
And upon motion of Mr. Wolk
Council adjourned.

CITY OF PITTSBURGH
CERTIFICATE OP EMERGENCY
Whereas, Article XIV, 'Section 13 of
the Act of March 7, 1901, P. L. 20, as
amended by the Act of May 31, 1911,
P. If. 461, provides that all appropria¬
tions shall be made annually by general
ordinance except in cases of emergency
when special appropriations may be
made to meet the same; and
Whereas, The Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works in letters
addressed to the Mayor of the City of
Pittsburgh and the City Controller
under date of June 5, 1951, has stated
that because of a series of major
breaks on large water lines In April
and May of this year, a great amount
of overtime by the labor force of the
Bureau of Water was required for
early repairs and restoration of essen¬
tial service; and
Whereas, It is apparent that funds
in Code Account 1779-Wages, Tempor¬
ary Employees, Bureau of Water, De¬
partment of Public Works, April to
June, will not be adequate to meet
payrolls chargeable thereto for the lat¬
ter half of June, thereby making it
necessary to transfer the sum of $2,-
000.00 to this Code Account, April to
June, to meet the deficit created by
overtime work; and
Whereas, The foregoing appears to be
good and sufficient reason to impel
the certification of an emergency under
the circumstances;
Now, Therefore, we, Howard B.
Stewart, Deputy Mayor of the City of
Pittsburgh, and Edward R. Frey, City
Controller of the City of Pittsburgh, do
302

Mr. Fagan moved

final passage of the bills.
Which motion prevailed.
And the bills were read a second

Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: For a point of infor¬
mation, I would like to know If File
No. 1779, Bill No. 3943; Pile No. 1780,
Bill No. 3944, and File No. 1781, Bill
No. 3945, if the agreements with the
Allegheny County Sanitary Authority
for these pieces of legislation have been
examined and approved by the illus¬
trious Miss Anne X. Alpern.
Mr. Weir:
Mr. President: I was just going to
comment on the same bills, as a mem¬
ber of the Committee for Council which
was designated to deal with the Sani¬
tary Authority on this matter.
First, without reference to Mr. Pa¬
gan’s question, I want to point out
that the addition of Upper St. Clair,
Kennedy and Kilbuck Townships to
project “Z”, I think, is a very natural
and advantageous thing, because, in
every one of those several Instances the
territory added Is a part of the exist¬
ing drainage basins in those sections
of the County that were already in¬
corporated in project “Z”, and espe¬
cially with reference to Upper St. Clair,
you have a territory that will drain
through, the sewer of Mt. Lebanon in
our system, and you have land out
there that quite obviously is being de¬
veloped very rapidly. So the natural
result of these conditions should re¬
duce the average cost of the sewers of
project “Z”, Of course, we have been
painting a little more difficult problem
% with regard to the portion of West
Mifflin and Blaw Knox Borough, be¬
cause we cannot say that the condi¬
tion of those territories would reduce
the average cost, and It is admitted
it would increase it slightly, and an
effort is being made to work out some
plan whereby other municipalities will
be obligated to pay an extra charge,
and, of course, as you know, as mem¬
bers of the Committee, we have worked
on that.
In respect to Mr. Fagan’s question,
it is my recollection that we had re¬
ferred this contract to the •Law De¬
partment, and received a reply that it
did not vary from any of our contracts
formerly entered into with project “Z”.
The Chair:
In the accompanying letter it says
the agreements are alike In their sub-
315
stantlve provisions. The rates are uni¬
form and the terms and form of the
agreements are in substantially the
same form as that heretofore executed
with the Westinghouse Electric Corpor¬
ation, and substantially the same as
agreements entered into between the
City, the Sanitary Authority and fifty-
six other governmental subdivisions.
I might add that the letter is not
signed by Miss Alpern. It is signed by
John M. Marshall.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: I might say I am not
ready to vote on these bills until they
are examined by Miss Alpern. She is
not going to duck out of this like she
did on other things.
The Chair:
I think matters of this kind should
be signed by the City Solicitor, Miss
Alpern, and not by one of the As¬
sistants. All important communications
should be signed by the City Solicitor,
except when she is out of the City.
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr. President: In the agreement, you
will find on the last page, it is
to be signed by the Mayor; Secretary
to the Mayor; the Chief Clerk of the
Department of Public Works; the Di¬
rector of the Department of Public
Works, and approved as to form by the
City Solicitor. So she has to sign it.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: She might delegate one
of her Assistants to sign it.
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr. President: Inasmuch as it is in
the Department of Public Works, I
move that Bills No. 3943, No. 3944 and
No. 3945 be laid over, pending receipt
of opinion from the City Solicitor.
The Chair:
There is no signature. There is a
place provided. The form is not signed,
and the accompanying letter is signed
by Mr. Marshall. What is your pleasure,
gentlemen? The motion is that the
bills lay on the table until receipt of
an opinion from the City Solicitor that
the bills are in proper form.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: Prom the City Solici¬
tor, Anne X. Alpern; not one of her
Assistants.
And the question recurring on the
adoption of the motion, the motion
prevailed.
Also
Bill No. 3947. An Ordinance
entitled, "An Ordinance transferring the

DEPARTMENT OF LAW
July 5 1951.
The Honorable, The Council
of the City of Pittsburgh
Gentlemen:
Bills Nos. 3943, 3944 and 3945 have
been referred to the City Solicitor for
an opinion as to whether they are in
proper form.
This proposed legislation authorizes
agreements between the City of Pitts¬
burgh, the Allegheny County Sanitary
Authority and various municipalities
and industries designated therein, for
sewage treatment and disposal. The
ordinances were originally transmitted
to the Mayor and Council under date
of March 14, 1951, by John M. Marshall,
an Assistant City Solicitor, who fully
explained the nature of the agree¬
ments and stated that they were sub¬
stantially the same as agreements pre¬
viously entered into with 56 other
municipalities, after councilmanic au¬
thority.
All these proposed ordinances have
been examined by me and are in
proper legal form.
Upon passage of the proposed ordi¬
nances by Council and approval by
the Mayor, agreements embodying the
terms outlined in the ordinances will
be prepared by this department. These
agreements will bear the written ap¬
proval as to form by the City Solici¬
tor.
Sincerely,
ANNE X. ALPERN,
City Solicitor.
Which was read, received and filed.
Mr, Fagan:—
Mr. President: When this matter was
up in regular Council meeting last
week I asked for a point of informa¬
tion with reference to the bills that
have Just been read, and I said that
they should be referred to the City
Solicitor for her approval before final
action was taken by Council, at least
before I voted on the Bills.
Of course, the news article in the
Pittsburgh Press claimed .that I had
mentioned something about contracts.
I never mentioned the word “contract."
I said: “For a point of information, I
W’ould like to know if File No, 1779,
Bill No. 3943; File No, 1780, Bill No.
3944, and Pile No. 1781, Bill No. 3945,
if the agreements with the Allegheny
County Sanitary Authority for these
pieces of legislation have been examined
and approved by the illustrious Miss
Anne X. Alpern.”
It was reported In the newspapers
that I had said something about con¬
tracts. It was Mr. Gallagher who men¬
tioned the matter about contracts. I
was talking about bills and not con¬
tracts; and Miss Alpern’s reply was
that I did not know much about con¬
tracts. Well, in my experience in Labor
i think I have helped to negotiate a
lot of contracts and every time I
negotiated one my word was my bond
along with my signature, and the con¬
tracts were carried out both in letter
and spirit; and I certainly have had
some experience in the making of con¬
tracts and carrying them out.
So, for the information of the news¬
papermen that interviewed Miss Alpern,
I want to make it clear that I was
speaking about the bills before Coun¬
cil and not about contracts; and I
w^ould like the record to show clearly
and distinctly that I was talking about
bills and had no reference to contracts.
I hope that the proper correction will
be made, and that when they return
if they care to take it up with the
City Solicitor, Miss Anne X. Alpern, to
tell her that I was speaking about bills
and not about contracts.
And the bills, as read a second time
were agreed to.
And the bills were read a third time
and agreed to.
•
And the titles of the bills were read
and agreed to.
And on the question, “Shall the bills
pass finally?"
The ayes and noes were taken, agree¬
ably to law, and were;
829
Also
Ayes:—Messrs,
Davis Wolk
Pagan Duff, (Pres’t
Weir Pro tern).
Ayes 5. Noes none.
And a majority of the votes of
Council being in the affirmative, the
bills passed finally.

1911, P. L. 461, provided that all ap¬
propriations shall be made annually
by general ordinance except in cases
of emergency when special appropria¬
tions may be made to meet the same;
and
Whereas, the sudden cessation of the
veneral disease program by the Penn¬
sylvania Department of Health in the
City of Pittsburgh has created an
emergency situation in this area; and
Whereas, it is imperative that the
City of Pittsburgh, Department of Pub¬
lic Health, assume responsibility for
carrying on the nursing and other
aspects of the veneral disease control
program in order to maintain the
gains that have been made in the con¬
trol of venereal diseases, and also, be¬
cause of the concentration of defense
industry in Pittsburgh, to strengthen
the venereal disease services; and
Whereas, due to the increased duties
of the Bureau of Public Health Nurs¬
ing, the employment of one Public
Health Nursing Supervisor, one Steno¬
grapher-Clerk and one Messenger is
necessary, since the Bureau of Public
Health Nursing is unable to absorb
the nursing and other phases of the
program with its present staff;

pel the certification of an emergency
under the circumstances, we, Howard

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Fagan (for Mr, Gallagher) pre¬
sented
No. 4075. An Ordinance au¬
thorizing the construction of a public
sewer on Stilwell street, from a point
about 70 feet southwest of Wabana
street to the existing sewer on Maline
street, including all other work neces¬
sary in connection therewith; letting a
contract or contracts therefor, and pro¬
viding that the costs, damages and ex¬
penses of the’Same be assessed against
and collected from property specially
benefited thereby.”
Which was read and referred to the
Committee on Public Works.
Mr, Fagan;—
For a point of order on the ques¬
tion I raised on the several bills af¬
fecting the Allegheny County Sanitary
Authority, I want to say that I have
implicit confidence that Mr. Marshall
is competent, qualified and capable of
rendering a proper opinion on the leg¬
islation before Council. In fact I have
Implicit confidence in all the Assistant
City Solicitors In our Law Department.
I am not questioning their ability or
their authority or their legal knowledge
as to the legislation; but on the other
hand, Mr. President, I understand that
the Broadway Maintenance Corpora¬
tion’s legislation was before Council
for four or five years. This was before
I became a member of Council, but
however, I do remember I think that
Miss Alpern took a lot of credit for
making the Broadway Maintenance
Corporation live up to its agreement
with the City of Pittsburgh for the
installation of a modem street light¬
ing system in Pittsburgh, and apparent¬
ly at some time or another she said
she was not a part of it. So, I think I
should try to keep the record straight
as far as I am concerned, and my
thoughts concerning any of the as¬
sistants in the Law Department.
Of course, as I stated at the last
meeting any legislation that may he
presented by any member of the Law
Department has to have the approval
of the City Solicitor, and as far as
I am concerned it will have to have
the okay of Miss Alpern so she cannot
say she was on vacation when it was
before the Legal Department, whether
it was right or wrong or good legisla¬
tion or bad legislation. After all, It
must have been a very extended vaca¬
tion because the legislation was very
Important and was under consideration
for a period of at least four or five
years before it was enacted into law,
and a contract made with the Broad¬
way Maintenance Corporation. I think
it proper at this time to clear the
record.

CERTIFICATE OF EMERGENCY
Whereas, Article XIV, Section 13 of
the Act of March 7, 1901, P. L. 20,
as amended by the Act of May 31, 1911,
P. L. 461, provided that all appropria¬
tions shall be made annually by gen¬
eral ordinance except in cases of
emergency when special appropriations
may be made to meet the same; and
Whereas, An emergency situation has
arisen in the Department of Public
Health in relation to the vacation
schedule for the employees classified
as Engineers and Chief Engineers at
the Tuberculosis Hospital and Munici¬
pal Hospital in the Department of
Public Health; and
Whereas, Through an administrative
error occurring in the preparation of
the 1951 Salary Bill, this Department
failed to provide for vacation relief for
the Chief Engineers at the Tubercu¬
losis Hospital and the Municipal Hos¬
pital; and
Whereas, It is mandatory that the
boiler rooms at both institutions be
manned twenty-four hours each day in
the week; and
Whereas, We believe that it would
not be in accord with good personnel
practice to ask the regular engineers
to add more overtime to the many
hours of additional work which they
have already been asked to serve dur¬
ing the current year;
Now, Therefore, It appearing that a
good and sufficient reason exists to
impel the certification of an emergency
under the circumstances, we, Howard
B. Stewart, Deputy Mayor of the City
of Pittsburgh, and Edward R. Frey,
Controller of the City of Pittsburgh, do
hereby certify to Council of the City
of Pittsburgh the existence of an
emergency requiring an increase in the
number of vacation relief days allotted
in the 1951 Salary Ordinance for En¬
gineers at the Tuberculosis Hospital
and Municipal Hospital in the Depart¬
ment of Public Health.

Deputy Mayor, City of Pittsburgh

To President and Members of City

Subject: Council Bill No. 4022(51)—
Proposed Zone change. North Negley
avenue, Stanton to Baywood—ilth
Ward.
402
At its regular meeting held August
21, 1951, the Planning Commission con¬
sidered Council Bill No. 4022 (51)—An
Ordinance amending Zoning Ordinance
No. 372, approved August 9, 1923, Zone
Map Sheet Z-N20-E30, hy changing from
a “B” Residence (U-5) District to an
“A” Residence (CJ-4) District, all that
certain property bounded by Stanton
avenue, North Negley avenue; Bay-
wood street; and Samantha way. No
change is proposed in the present Thir¬
ty-Five Foot (H-1) and First Area
(A-1) District.
The Commission took the following
action:—
“Motion:—^That Council Bill No.
4022(51) be Approved because proximity
to East Liberty, good transportation
facilities, obsolescence of structures for
their original purpose, and other fac¬
tors, together with the high percentage
of residential non-conformity, indicate
the feasibility of “A” Residence classi¬
fication here; the character of the dis¬
trict is now such that the proposed
change is not likely to be detrimental
to concerned or surrounding properties;
no height or area change is involved,
80 that the permitted intensity of de¬
velopment would be well under that
considered excessive for the neighbor¬
hood; and this change would be in ac¬
cord with the Commission’s Master
Plan, Tentative Draft of the Proposed
New Zoning Ordinance and previous
action of May 16, 1944, arrived at after
a very detailed study of this district.
Carried.”
Although the Planning, Commission
has received some written opposition to
this Bill, it is not sufficient to qualify
the vote of Council, so that, as far as
the CommUsion’s records are concerned,
a favorable vote of only a majority of
the Members of City Council is neces¬
sary for passage of this Ordinance.
Yours very truly,

Planning Director,

To President and Members of City
Council, from C. Ronal Woods, Direc¬

August 17, 1951.
403
Subject, Council Bill No. 4046(51)
—^Proposed Zone change Thomas street
and North Homewood avenue—14th
Ward.
At its regular meeting held August
14, 1951, the Planning Comnxission
considered Council Bill No. 4046(51),
an Ordinance amending Zoning Ordi¬
nance No. 372, approved August 9,
1923, Zone Map Sheet Z-N10-E30, by
changing from a Fourth Area (A-4)
District, to a Fifth Area (A-5) District,
all that certain property bounded by
Thomas street; the northwesterly line
of lot numbered 29 in the Fahnestock
Place Plan of Lots; a line parallel with
and distant 142.50 feet southwestwardly
from the southwesterly line of Thomas
street; and North Homewood avenue;
being lot numbered 30 in said Fahne¬
stock Place Plan of Lots.
The Planning Commission took the
following action:—
“Motion:—^That Council Bill No.
4046(51) be Disapproved for reasons
as follows:—
1. The present use of property
which is proposed to be enlarged is now
at this location only by sufferance of
an exception made by the Board of
Adjustment. In making such exception,
the Planning Commission believes the
Board of Adjustment exceeded the
power delegated to it by the Zoning
Ordinance; such action constitutes an
unwarranted usurpation of the legisla¬
tive power which properly rests with
City Council. Therefore the enactment
of the proposed Zone change would
permit enlargement of an improper use
at this location and condone an action
unwisely taken at an earlier date. En¬
actment of the proposed change would
be arbitrary and discriminatory “spot**
zoning, permitting the magnification of
the existing discordant and deleterious
effect of the present situation.
2. The proposed reclassification if
effected would permit over-intensive
land development by an inharmonious
use, granting special privilege to one
relatively small property, to the im¬
mediate detriment of adjoining con¬
forming multiple - family dwellings,
which would then be supplying on their
own properties, all of the minimum
open spaces between buildings consid¬
ered necessary for amenity at this lo¬
cation. At the same time the proposed
reclassification would permit an in¬
creased intensity in family density and
over-intensive land coverage out of
character and unwarranted in this or
any other residential neighborhood.
Carried.”
President and Members of
City Council:
Apropos the above action taken on
Council Bill No. 4046(61) the Planning
Commission then took action as fol¬
lows :—
“Motion:—With respect to permitting
full coverage of a residentially zoned
lot, it is the sense of this Commission
that, under the present zoning ordi¬
nance the application of “Fifth Area”
classification to residentially zoned lots
should be looked upon with strong dis¬
favor. Carried.”
In addition to the vote of Council
being qualified by the above negative
action of the Planning Commission, it
is also qualified by the written ob¬
jections of property owners, these ob¬
jections representing owners of 100%
of the area of the adjoining properties,
so that a favorable vote of three-
fourths of the members of City Coun¬
cil is necessary for passage of this
Ordinance.
Yours very truly,
C. Ronal Woods,
Planning Director.

Mr, Davis presented
No. 4298.
Whereas, The Mayor of the City of
Pittsburgh has petitioned the Public
Utility Commission to suspend the pro¬
posed increased street car and bus
fares; and
Whereas, The Council of the City of
Pittsburgh heartily agrees with action
taken by the Mayor in his efforts to
protect street car and bus riders in the
Pittsburgh area; and
Whereas, The proposed increase in
street car fares would be the fifth steep
increase in rates since 1948; and
Whereas, This represents a 100 per
cent increase in token fares, and for
those who use transfers an increase of
136 per cent; and
Whereas, Such increases have proven
unduly burdensome to the public and
have been disportionate to advances in
wages, materials and equipment; and
Whereas, It is of vital concern to the
economic well-being. of this area and
to all citizens that the proposed new
rates be denied; and
Whereas, This administration has re¬
peatedly urged the Public Utility Com¬
mission, without success, to establish
zones with a lower rate for short haul
riders who ride only short distances,
and not to impose on them the same
rates as those who ride for long dis¬
tances, and the Public Utility Com¬
mission has repeatedly ignored this re¬
quest; and
Whereas, No transfer charge was Im¬
posed until recent tariffs, which im¬
posed a three cent transfer charge on
riders Irrespective the shortness of the
ride, and only because of the fact that
continuous service is not supplied
them; and
Whereas, Such additional transfer
charge constitutes a great hardship
408
upon many thousands of car riders in
this City; and
Whereas, The repeated increases have
resulted in driving away from the
street car company millions of riders
who would patronize the company If
the fares were Just and reasonable; and
Whereas, The proposed new fare in¬
crease which will become effective Sep¬
tember 10, 1951, will add further unjust
burdens upon the transfer riders and
other car riders; Therefore, be it
Resolved, That civic organizations
business associations, labor unions, fra¬
ternal groups, veterans organizations,
and all other organizations and indi¬
viduals be urged to support the Mayor
and Council in their fight against in¬
creased street car and bus fares by
petitioning the Public Utility Commis¬
sion to suspend the proposed new
schedule of rates.

Mr. Davis presented
• No. 4373.
Whereas, The Public Utility Commis¬
sion of Pennsylvania has permitted in¬
creased street car and bus rates to go
into effect without the issuance of a
formal order and without holding pub¬
lic hearings; and
Whereas, This action, better described
as inaction, on the part of the Com¬
mission followed the passage of a Reso¬
lution of Council supporting the
Mayor's petition to the PUC requesting
suspension of the rates and the calling
of immediate public hearings; and
Whereas, Months ago a bill. Senate
Bill 274, was drawn up by the City
Solicitor and introduced in the Senate
of Pennsylvania which would require
the Public Utility Commission to sus¬
pend new rates for six months until
full public hearings could be held; and
Whereas, This bill has been bottled
up in the Committee on Corporations
of the Pennsylvania Senate since its
introduction six months ago, thereby
making it possible for the PUC to per¬
mit this latest rate increase—the fifth
in three and a half years—to slide into
effect; and
Whereas, The people of the Pittsburgh
area, now unjustly saddled by higher
street car and bus fares and denied
the right of appeal to the courts, are
justifiably anxious to prevent further
increases without the right to appeal
and to public hearings before new rates
can be made effective; Now, Therefore,
Be It
Resolved, That this Council join with
the Mayor in calling upon the Chair¬
man of the Committee on Corporations
of the Pennsylvania Senate to report
Senate Bill 274 out on the floor of
the Senate for consideration when that
body reconvenes on Monday, Septem¬
ber 17th.
Which was read.

There is present a Committe from
The American Legion which wishes to
express some public recognition for Mr.
Gallagher’s services to the community.
We Invite the Mayor of Pittsburgh to
a place on the rostrum.
W’e recognize Mr. Conrad A. Eibeck,
County Commander of The American
Legion.
Mr. Eibeck:
The Honorable Mayor, Mr. President,
Members of Council and Members of
The American Legion: We came here
to honor one of your colleagues in
Council; a man who is very well known
on the South Side of Pittsburgh. He
has not forgotten the section of the
South Side where he formerly lived
because he was elevated to a high
office. He makes many visits to the
South Side and keeps in contact with
the people there, where he was born
and raised. The American Legion holds
him in very high esteem because of
the many activities he has interested
himself in conjunction with The Amer¬
ican Legion. Two things, in particular,
I want to call to your attention. One
is in connection with Colonel Shenkel’s
request which he had Mr. Gallagher
present and which was adopted by
Council, which had to do with includ¬
ing the words “Divine Providence” on
the Seal of the City of Pittsburgh.
Another outstanding act was when he
had a resolution passed by Council
calling for an investigation of the North
Side Carnegie Library regarding the
purchase of certain books.
This citation, I am about to pre¬
sent, has been used for many years
throughout the nation. Congressman
Eberharter holds one of these citations,
as does Judge Musmanno, Mr. Hoover
of the F. B.I., Mr. Soucy of the P.B.I.,
Colonel Sottong and Colonel Gillespie
of the Army. It is in appreciation for
what these men have done, I might
say at this time that there are other
members of Council, and I believe the
Honorable Mayor, who eventually will
be given this citation.
At this time I would ask Councilman
Gallagher to come forward.
(Mr. Gallagher presented himself at
the rostrum.)
Mr. Eibeck:
I know you have many citations at
home and you have appreciated every
citation you have received and you will
appreciate this all the more because
this Is one of the oustanding citations
to be given by The American Legion.
On behalf of The American Legion, it
is a pleasure to present this citation
in recognition of the outstanding work
you have done, and I hope you will
continue to do so. Congratulations.
Mr. Gallagher: ^
Mr. Mayor, President of Council, Mem¬
bers of Council and Members of The
American Legion: I assure you that I
deeply appreciate the honor bestowed
upon me this afternoon. I will cherish
this citation among some of my most
valuable possessions. Thanks a lot.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: Ten years ago the
Smoke Ordinance went into operation.
Yesterday, in the Pittsburgh Press *
there was almost a complete page of \
the City’s victory over smoke, which
is a very fine article, written by Gil¬
bert Love, who is a very good writer.
On the other side of the page there
is an editorial captioned “Ten Years
of Smoke Control,” which is very good.
In the last paragraph it goes on to
say:
“With the Smoke Law on the books,
civic leaders were encouraged to
launch a many-sided improvement
program, including new highways,
parking facilities and Downtown
parks. Local industries and businesses
have been expanding.
“Downtown buildings by the dozens
have been cleaned.
“There’s an entirely new spirit in
Pittsburgh today, and it started with
smoke control.”
But the unfortunate part of it, the
article and the editorial do not men¬
tion one word about the man who was
responsible for Smoke Control. I at¬
tend meetings and this fellow and that
fellow takes credit for smoke control.
There is no doubt about it, as George
Washington was the Father of our
Country, and the late Robert Garland
was the father of Daylight Saving
time, Abe Wolk is the father of Smoke
Control; and anybody who wants to
claim that title, can, but in the final
analysis and for the record, I want
this to be understood.
I happened to be a member of the
original Smoke Commission. At that
time I was President of the United
Mine Workers, District No. 5, where
we had volatile coal that I knew would
not meet the smoke law, but in the
interests of health and in the inter¬
est of the community, I served on that
committee in spite of a few of the
officers saying a lot of nasty things
about me. I figured that some day we
would have smoke control in the City
of Pittsburgh and it would be of great
benefit, not only to the health but to
the betterment of the community, and
that the gag that had been heard
from Canada to Timbuckto was that the
City of Pittsburgh was a smoky city,
and no matter where you went every¬
body knew Pittsburgh as the smoky
city.
It is true that the City Councilmen
went along with Abe Wolk, because I
have the original ordinance here be¬
fore me that was passed back in 1941,
and in order that Abe may receive the
honor to which he was entitled, he
presided over the Council meeting while
this ordinance was being passed and
he signed the ordinance, along with
the Clerk of Council, the late Edward
W, Lindsay, on the 7th day of July,
1941.
Councilman Wolk is not present this
afternoon. He is celebrating the New
Year, and certainly is entitled to cele¬
brate the 5712th year of the Jewish
Calendar.
I would like to have this incorpor¬
ated in the record, and I am going to
say that it is an undlsputable fact
that Abraham Wolk is the father of
Smoke Control in the City of Pitts¬
burgh, and there is no scientist or in¬
dustrialist or any other person who
can take credit for smoke prevention.
There are a Jot of other things
that Abe Wolk has done. The vote was
eight to one for the passage of the
ordinance. Of course, it did not go
into operation in 1941 completely be-
cause of World War II, Since it did
go into operation there is no doubt
it has done a lot of good for the City
and for its health and for its en¬
vironment, and it is true it has
brought new industry and a lot of
other things that are happening here
because of the result of smoke control
and smoke prevention in the City of
Pittsburgh. The County of Allegheny
has adopted it. I would like it under¬
stood when anybody is writing or
talking about it that Abe Wolk is en¬
titled to be called the Father of
Smoke Control.
The Chair:
I join in the expressions just given
by Mr. Fagan. For a long time before
the public presentation of Mr. Wolk’s
theory of smoke control there had been
endless discussions among the Council-
men as to whether this job could be
done. The members of Council were
not altogether sure that it could be
done. The sky was a very large place
and some of us were indecisive about
it. We were not sure that by passing
a law that we would be able to con¬
trol our smoke filled heavens. But I
know from actual knowledge, that it
was Abe Wolk’s dogged persistence that
carried this program through to vic¬
tory. I do not want to say he was
seriously opposed in Council because
that would not be true, but there was
a half humorous attitude toward it as
if it could not be done. But Mr, Wolk
persistently contested that viewpoint
and said it could be done.
I remember the day it came up in
Committee. There had been any num¬
ber of discussions on it, and on the
day that Mr. Wolk moved to report
it favorably in Committee, even yet
there was a hesitancy to it, and I
remember very well, perhaps sixty sec¬
onds passed before there was a second
to Mr. Wolk’s motion. I remember it
very well because I made the motion
to second the bill. After that it was
Wolk and the other members of Coun¬
cil that stood up for this bill. Time and
time again there was pressure put on
us to get this—^that it could not be
done. Business leaders were not very
active—they were standing still to see
what we would do. Week after week
this Council stood for this bill. So, as
I say, Mr. Wolk is just as surely the
father of Smoke Control in this City
as was Mr. Garland, shall I say, the
father of Daylight Saving.
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr. President: I want to concur in
your remarks and in Councilman
Fagan’s remarks. I want to say that
the members of Council who supported
Mr. Wolk’s ordinance at that time were
threatened with defeat. We took criti¬
cism all over the City from various
people in various walks of life, and
I was not convinced until Council de¬
cided to go to St. Louis. You, Mr.
President, were on that Committee that
went to St. Louis. Mr. Gilbert Love,
who wrote this article went on that
trip with the members of Council. I,
myself, got a cross section picture of
the situation in St. Louis by making
it my business to contact the members
of organized labor and the Laundry
Workers Union and other organizations
affected by this ordinance, and came
back fully convinced if St. Louis could
do it, Pittsburgh could do it, regard¬
less of the criticism and the other
members of Council and my self stuck
to our guns. If anybody deserves to be
called the Father of Smoke Control,
Mr. Wolk does, and I want to concur in
it.
Mr. Weir:
Mr. President: No doubt the Smoke
Control Ordinance of the City of Pitts¬
burgh is a really very great piece of
City Planning, and I do not believe that
anyone here entertains the slightest
doubt if we did not have smoke con¬
trol we would not have the Gateway
Center rising, as I can see one of its
buildings through that window, and the
number of buildings being erected in
uptown Pittsburgh, and many other
conditions of material advantage, in
addition to the advantage of public
health. Likewise I realize it was Abe
Wolk who brought this about, although
others had to help or it would not
have happened. I understand Mr.
Fagan’s feelings because I, myself, have
often thought how much is written
about it without mentioning Mr. Wolk’s
name.
Of course, we realize the serious
situation that existed in the winters
461
of 1947, '48 and ’49 when the ordinance
went into full effect and when, due
to the prosperity of the Country, is
what caused the shortage of coal and
a lot of fringe coal was used and we
naturally took it on the chin then.
If it had not been for smoke con¬
trol these other things would have
never come about. It so happens that
I have here in my hand a resolution
pertaining to the American Society of
Planning Officials who will be in Pitts¬
burgh for their annual meeting October
14th to 18th, and I think it is safe
to say were it not for smoke control
and things that followed, the Amer¬
ican Society of Planning Engineers
would not be having their meeting in
Pittsburgh. It is a dramatic setting
in this entire nation for a meeting
of that kind, because it will be when
here they will take them on a tour to
show them what really can be done
in a community with city planning.
Mr. Weir presented
No. 4495.
Whereas, the City of Pittsburgh has
the privilege of being host to the
American Society of Planning Officials
at its annual meeting from October 14
to October 18, 1951; and
Whereas, the members of the Amer¬
ican Society of Planning Officials repre¬
sent the country’s best talent and ex¬
perience in the field of municipal
planning; and
Whereas, the City of Pittsburgh is
proud to demonstrate the achievements
which have been made possible here
by public planning for the common
good; and
Whereas, the exchange of views and
information on planning problems and
trends is of great interest and import¬
ance to us; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved that Council formally
welcomes to Pittsburgh the distinguish¬
ed members and guests of the Amer¬
ican Society of Planning Officials, and
calls upon all public officials and citi¬
zens in this area to cooperate in making
the annual meeting of the American
Society of Planning Officials a re¬
sounding success; and that the City
Clerk be and he hereby is requested
to forward a copy of this resolution
to the American Society of Planning
Officials, 1313 East 60th street, Chi¬
cago 37, Illinois.
Mr. Weir moved

Which motion prevailed.
Mr. Weir moved
That the Minutes of Council
of Monday, September 24, 1951, be ap¬

And upon motion of Mr. Weir

CITY OP PITTSBURGH
CERTIPICATE OP EMERGENCY
Whereas, Article XIV, Section 13 of
the Act of Assembly of March 7, 1901,
P. L. 20, as amended by the Act of
May 31, 1911, P. L. 461, provides that
all appropriations shall be made an¬
nually by general ordinance, except in
cases of emergency when special ap¬
propriations may be made to meet the
same; and
Whereas, The Director of the Depart¬
ment of Public Safety, in letters ad¬
dressed to the Mayor and the City
Controller under date of September 21,
1951, has stated that in connection
with the building of the new Penn-
Lincoln Parkway, it was necessary to
abandon certain conduits on Porbes
street and Second avenue and construct
new conduits on Maurice street and
Second avenue and the Boulevard of
the Allies. To do this work, our Bu¬
reau of Electricity will have to re¬
route 5,000 feet of 40-wire cable. The
Bell Telephone Company is constructing
the new conduit and we place our
cable in their conduits.
Whereas, The Director of the Depart¬
ment of Public Safety, in letters above
referred to, has stated that the Com¬
monwealth of Pennsylvania will reim¬
burse the City of Pittsburgh for the
cost of the cable, but it is necessary
that we have $8,200.00 transferred to
Code .Account No. 1480—Cable Installa¬
tion, Bureau of Electricity, Department
of Public Safety, to purchase the cable.
Whereas, Such appears as good and
sufficient reason to impel the certifi¬
cation of an emergency under the cir¬
cumstances;
Now, Therefore, We, David L. Law¬
rence, Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh,
and Edward R, Prey, Controller of the
City of Pittsburgh, do hereby certify
to Council of the City of Pittsburgh,
the existence of an emergency requir¬
ing that the sum of $8,200.00 be trans¬
ferred to Code Account No. 1480—Cable
Installation, Bureau of Electricity, De¬

sons set forth above.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I would like to add
to the remarks made last week by
Councilman Pagan that Councilman
Wolk should be recognized as the fa¬
ther of Smoke Control.
As I was the one who cast the nega¬
tive vote on that bill, I want to state
that I concur in Councilman Fagan’s
remarks. Unfortunately, I was absent
last Monday to endorse all the good
things that were said about Council¬
man Wolk.
However, I want to say that I con¬
cur in those remarks. As Mr. Fagan
said, the ordinance was passed by an
eight to one vote, I being the one who
cast the dissenting vote.
I might also say for the record that
I feel I have nothing to apologize for
the stand I took on the so-called smoke
control bill. I concur heartily in the
good that it is doing and I have al¬
ways said it would do a lot of good,
but if I had to do it over again, I
would do as I did before. For the
record, I was for the smoke control
bill.
For the record, the item I fought
most for was permission for the poor
people to burn bituminous coal who
did not have enough gas furnaces; I
wanted 50% bituminous coal to be per¬
mitted to be burned. Today, the peo¬
ple of the City of Pittsburgh who burn
coal are permitted to burn 50% bitum¬
inous coal. I feel I had something to
do with that, and I repeat, I do not
think I have anything to apologize for,
because I voted for what my convic¬
tions were, and if I had it to do over
again, I would do the same thing.
I do think the title belongs to
Councilman Wolk as the father of
Smoke Control and the father of many
other things, and he has done a great
Job.
Mr. Wolk:
Mr. President: When I heard what
was said last Monday I was greatly
affected with emotion. I merely want
to express at this time my deep grati¬
tude to the members of Council for
what was said on that occasion, and
I will remember it as long as I live
with the deepest gratitude,
Mr. Weir moved
That the Minutes of Council
of Monday, October 1, 1951, be ap¬
proved.
Which motion prevailed.
And upon motion of Mr. Weir
Council adjourned.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Weir:
Mr. President: Today may be sort
of a land mark in the history of this
City. Today there was transmitted to
Council and I introduced among these
bills an ordinance that provides for
the Mayor and the Director of the
Department of Public Works to ad¬
vertise for contracts for equipment,
for engineering and other services
necessary to install that equipment to
Introduce Fluoridation in the water
.supply of the City of Pittsburgh.
As you know, this is a subject we
have had under serious considera¬
tion for at least two years and It
culminated in last year’s budget ses¬
sion by placing an item in the bud¬
get for 1961 to provide for the pre¬
liminary work to get it under way.
I do hope this ordinance will pass
in Committee tomorrow and finally
next Monday, and perhaps by the
first of the year, or even before that,
the City will have installed at its
water plant the equipment necessary
to commence the introduction of
fluoridation in one of its forms in
the City’s water supply.
I think it is a rather fine thing to
do something for others, I think you
will all agree with that. In this par¬
ticular matter certainly it is not going
to do any good at all for anyone
sitting in this Council Chamber. As
a matter of fact it is not going to
do anything at all for any adult of
the City of Pittsburgh. This is a
thing we are doing mainly for the
children of Pittsburgh that are not
yet born, and to a certain extent
those who are of very tender years.
Because, it is only with respect to
them that this fluoridation will pre¬
vent them from tooth decay that we
as adults through the generations have
experienced.
I do not believe there remains any
serious doubt of the effectiveness of
this, I, personally, have felt it my
duty as Chairman of the Public Health
Committee to read a little about it,
and I have studied about its intro¬
duction into the water systems else¬
where, and I have consulted experts
in both the medical and engineering
fields and I do not think we are
making any mistake. I think it marks
the beginning of a great thing for
the City.
The Chair:
I think in a half century you will
all look back and you will see that
the many things that you have done
have been most Important. In the
field of public health, this Council
and the Council before and this Mayor
and the Mayor before him have done
a most important work,
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: I want to ask Coun¬
cilman Weir if there is any provision
that will compel the South Pittsburgh
Water Company to do the same thing.
Mr. Weir:
Mr. President: In answer to Mr.
Pagan’s question, there is not any
such provision, because we do not
have legal power to impose such an
obligation on the South Pittsburgh
Water Company. It is my hope, or
may I say that we might reasonably
expect that the South Pittsburgh Water
Company will go along with that in
the near future, because the Wilkins-
burg-Penn Water Authority Is mak¬
ing a study, and I think fairly well
committed to the proposition, although
has not taken any final action as yet.
Although we have no power to com¬
pel the South Pittsburgh Water Com¬
pany to do this, I have every reason
to think they will go along. I hope
nothing I have said would tend to
imply that I have any word from
the South Pittsburgh Water Company
that it will do it, but they probably
will see it the same way.
Mr. Weir presented
No. 4722.
Whereas, certain trucking com¬
panies have presented an application
to the Interstate Commerce Commis¬
sion of the United States, requesting,
permission to engage in tmrestrlcted
transportation of dangerous explosives
in Interstate Commerce, which applica¬
tion is now pending before said Com¬
mission; and
Whereas, dangerous explosives have
not heretofore been transported un¬
restrictedly over the streets of the
City of Pittsburgh or other thickly
populated areas in large trucking oper¬
ations; and
Whereas, such transportation of high
explosives by large and unrestricted
trucking operations through the City
of Pittsburgh or other thickly popu¬
lated areas may result in accidents
which will cause great loss of life and
property; and
Whereas, since the Pennsylvania
Turnpike Commission has prohibited
transportation of high explosives on
the Pennsylvania Turnpike, such trans¬
portation in Interstate Commerce
would thus inevitably result in a
large flow of such traffic through the
streets of the City of Pittsburgh; and
Whereas, the City of St. Louis and
other cities of the United states have
intervened before the Interstate Com¬
merce Commission opposing the grant¬
ing of the aforesaid application;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved:
(1) That the City of Pittsburgh Is
opposed and does hereby express its
opposition to the granting of unre-
restricted permission to trucking com¬
ps nies to transport dangerous ex¬
plosives over its public highways in
interstate commerce.
(2) That the Law Department of
the > City of Pittsburgh is hereby au¬
thorized and directed to intervene in
the aforesaid proceedings before the
Interstate Commerce Commission of the
United States, and in behalf of the
City of Pittsburgh to oppose before
^id Commission the granting of per-
nilsslon to the applicants in the afore¬
said proceedings to engage in the un¬
restricted transportation of dangerous
explosives in interstate commerce over
the streets and highways of the City
of Pittsburgh.
Which was read and referred to the
Committee on Public Safety.
The Chair presented
No. 4723.
Whereas, the measure of a Pitts¬
burgher’s citizenship can be best de¬
termined by the degree of his con¬
tribution to the civic rebirth now
underway in this city; and
Whereas, using this standard, the
name of Thomas P. Troy stands among
the very foremost in the list of Pitts¬
burgh citizens; and
Whereas, throughout the years he
has spent in this city, Tom Troy ha.s
energetically and selflessly worked to
achieve in Pittsburgh a better com¬
munity for all residents of this area;
and
Whereas, in keeping with the spirit
of the new Pittsburgh, Mr. Troy not
only accepted civic duties pressed upon
him by others but took the Initiative
in developing new projects and new
ideas which have become part of the
overall improvement program; and
Whereas, no citizen of this area
has earned more sincere respect and
deeper friendship than has this Pitts¬
burgh businessman and community
leader; and
Whereas, effective the first part of
next year, Mr. Troy has been pro¬
moted to a postlon which requires his
removal to New York City; Therefore
be it
Resolved, That the City of Pitts¬
burgh hereby officially extends to
Thomas F. Troy Its warmest expressions
of friendship and appreciation for his
many works for Pittsburgh and its
citizens and its best wishes for con¬
tinued success at his new post.

Whereas, Certain trucking companies
have presented an application to the
Interstate Commerce Commission of the
United States, requesting permission to
engage in unrestricted transportation of
dangerous explosives in Interstate Com¬
merce, which application is now pend¬
ing before said Commission; and
Whereas, Dangerous explosives have
not heretofore been transported un¬
restrictedly over the streets of the City
of Pittsburgh or other thickly populated
areas in large trucking operations; and
Whereas, Such transportation of high
explosives by large and unrestricted
trucking operations through the City
of Pittsburgh or other thickly popu¬
lated areas may result in accidents
which will cause great loss of life and
property; and
Whereas, 'Since the Pennsylvania
Turnpike Commission has prohibited
transportation of high explosives on
the Pennsylvania Turnpike, such trans¬
portation in Interstate Commerce would
thus inevitably result in a large flow
of such traffic through the streets of
the City of Pittsburgh; and
Whereas, The City of St. Louis and
other citip.s of the United States have
intervened before the Interstate Com¬
merce Commission opposing the grant¬
ing of the aforesaid application;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved:
(1) That the City of Pittsburgh is
opposed and does hereby express its
opposition to the granting of unre¬
stricted permission to trucking compa¬
nies to transport dangerous explosives
over its public highways in interstate
I commerce.
(2) That the Law Department of
the City of Pittsburgh is hereby au¬
thorized and directed to intervene In
the aforesaid proceedings before the
Interstate Commerce Commission of the
United States, and in behalf of the
City of Pittsburgh to oppose before
said Commission the granting of per¬
mission to the applicants in the afore¬
said proceedings to engage in the un¬
restricted transportation of dangerous
explosives in Interstate commerce over
the streets and highways of the City
of Pittsburgh.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President and Members of Coun¬
cil: I beg your indulgence for a few
minutes to clarify the record and make
straight for all who care to read, my
mission to No. 1 Police Station on last
Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiv¬
ing, to visit the Communications Cen¬
ter. About 11:00 o’clock on the 2l8t
of November, in the year 1951, I con¬
sulted with Councilman A. L. Wolk, and
we agreed to go down and visit No. I
Police Station and the Communications
Center to see how it is operated, and
look at the switchboard and teletype
machines, and also to examine the files
at No. 1 Police Station. Unfortunately,
Councilman Wolk was detained by a
long telephone conversation. I waited
on the first floor for more than a
half hour while he was talking to a
man by the name of Stalley and a
lady by the name of Mary Plinn Law¬
rence. He did not show up and I
finally went down to No. 1 Police Sta¬
tion alone. The first officer I met
there, I think, was Lieutenant Schafer.
I introduced myself and told him the
purpose of my visit. There was another
gentleman there, by the name of Slus-
ser, I think.
I said, I would like to look around
and see the progress and success of the
Communications Center, because we
read often about the Communications
Center, and, of course, when the Com¬
munications Center was set up, I had
a Committee of Council down there,
because the Department of Lands and
Buildings had made some recommenda¬
tions for the remodeling of the build¬
ing and there were some other sug¬
gestions made by the FBI, and we went
again and looked Into the matter. The
Communications Center being complete,
I thought it was incumbent upon me
to see how it was operating.
I understand there is a rumor In
circulation that I had my dagger out
for the police force. I have no axe to
grind or sword to hone. I have always
believed and respected constituted au¬
thority— public, civil and religious. I
am opposed to private police forces and
always will be as long as God gives
538
me life. I have no respect for a graft¬
er. no matter where he is—in govern¬
ment or labor or anywhere else. I am
not a crusader. I was with the United
Mine Workers for a long time and I
refer to the record for what I did for
the community. I was President of the
Pittsburgh Central Labor Union for a
great number of years, and I appeared
in Harrisburg many a time represent¬
ing the policemen, asking for a re¬
duction in hours and for an increase
in wages, and also for the City fire¬
men. The record speaks for itself. And
so, I am classed as a crusader by the
newspapers after I saw these obscene
pictures, or literature, or whatever you
care to call them. To me it is degrad¬
ing. repulsive and nauseating. I asked
Mr. Slusser to remove those things from
the wall because I did not think they
should be in any public office, espe¬
cially in a government building. Of
course, he complied. The fact is, of
course, that the newspapers have made
a great hullabaloo out of it. I never
even told my wife I was at No. 1 Police
Station and the Communications Cen¬
ter and about these filthy calendars
being torn from the wall, but the next
day about 10:00 or 11:00 o’clock, a re¬
porter from the Sun-Telegraph, Mr. Joe
Browne, came into my office and said,
“I understand you were down at No.
1 Police Station and the Communica¬
tions Center.” I said, “That is correct.”
He asked. "What were you doing down
there?” I said, ‘T was looking over the
set-up down there, the switchboard and
the teletype machines, and went through
the building.” He said, “Something else
happened down there.” I asked, “What
happened?” He said, “You authorized
some calendars to be torn down.” I
want this Council to know I was not
the one to tell the story. There must
be somebody down there with a loose
tongue. Then we went down to the
repair room where there was another
calendar with a picture that was worse
than any I have ever laid my eyes on.
I left the Communications Center and
went over to McCafferty’s and had a
bowl of soup. After that, Mr. Slusser
fwKed me If I wanted a ride back to
City Hall, and I told him “no,” that
I had means of transportation.
Who let the cat out of the bag, is
what I would like to know. Who is
the Jim Carey in this whole picture?
After all, I live my own life. I am
not a “holier than thou” guy. I am
trying to save my own soul and expect,
some day, to go to Heaven, and if
somebody wants to go some place else,
that is his business. I am not carrying
on a crusade or anything of the kind.
I am just acting as a normal human
being should act. The pictures, to me,
were very obscene; they were filthy and
disgusting, offensive to chastity or mod¬
esty, impure, indecent, unchaste and
lewd. That is what I have to say about
it. Let’s see what some of the citizens
have to say about it. I have a copy
of a letter from Mahoning Stores, Inc.,
Indiana, Pennsylvania. It is signed by
Leo Kelly, Jr., Vice President. I know
two men by the name of Leo Kelly—
one is Assistant Postmaster and one is
an attorney, but the man in Indiana
I do not think I have ever met. Here
is what he has to say:
“Letters to the Editor
Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph
Pittsburgh, Pa.
I have a letter here from the Church
of the Assumption, 35 North Sprague
avenue, Bellevue:
“Dear Mr. Fagan:
“I Just finished reading in the Sun-
Tele of your one-man crusade. I
Dear Sir:
“Hearty commendation to Council¬
man Patrick T. Fagan. American
journalism is setting up a pretty
poor criterion for itself when an
elected public official is ridiculed be¬
cause of high and upright moral
principles.
“On one page of your November 22,
1951, edition you note the arrest of
certain individuals for the possession
of obscene and lewd printed matter,
and deride Councilman Fagan in the
same issue for his attempts to rid
certain public offices of similar ma¬
terial. Your reporting is not very
consistent.
Very truly yours,
Leo B. Kelly, Jr.
Vice President,
Mahoning Stores, Inc.”
539
think you are doing a noble and
courageous act, and God will bless
your efforts and you.
“Don’t be disturbed or angry over
any humorous comments and at¬
tempts to ridicule your attitude. I
need not say that in such a moral
and worthy case, you can repel such
shafts with staunch calmness in the
knowledge that your position is right
and in keeping with truth and mor¬
ality.
“Whether you know it or not, you
are a CHRISTOPHER.
Sincerely yours,
(Rev.) Michael P. Hinnebusch,
Pastor.”
I have a lot of other letters here,
Mr. Chairman, I am not going to take
the time to read. I have only one let¬
ter that criticizes me, and, of course,
I am going to give you some of the
information it contains. It is signed
“Disgusted.” A man who has not
enough courage to sign his name to
a letter surely must be disgusted. I
guess he was born disgusted and has
been disgusted all his life.
“Dear Sir:
”I voted and supported you in the
last election. But when our organi¬
zation backed you. and we carry
plenty of votes, we did not expect
to be electing a man who would
make a jackass of himself, going a-
round and becoming a Pin-up Picture
girl Censor. That is the most asinine
thing we ever heard of. I suppose
next summer you will be out to the
swimming pools with a yardstick and
demanding that all girl swimmers
wear bloomers. If you ever happen
to drop in the Pittsburgh Carnegie
Art Exhibit, you will drop dead.
There the ladies are really nude, but
no one objects to that. There are
so many important things that need
to be done, and you setting your¬
self up as a Reformer for Pin-up
girls. This is 1951, not the dark ages
of witch burning. It is about time
you woke up.
“Disgusted.”
He has a right to his opinion, if he
is right or wrong, or whether he thinks
I am wrong. But if he wants his
mother or sister or daughter to see
the kind of stuff that was down in
No. 1 Police Station, I say then, “God
bless him.”
I have a letter from Kittanning. The
writer congratulates me. He had been
a subscriber to the Esquire magazine,
but says he did not want that kind of
filth coming into his home anymore.
Here is another letter from Pittsburgh
congratulating me, and I have received
numerous telephone calls. Here is a
letter all the way from Richmond, Vir¬
ginia. It says, “I give thanks this day
to read about your clean-up campaign.
God bless you and keep it up.”
Here is another letter from Carlton
R. Ball, Washington, D. C. It says, “It
is no wonder the nation is In the
shape it is, because of the things that
are practiced.”
Here is a letter from Albuquerque,
New Mexico:
“Congratulations on your action as
recorded in the paper here in Albu¬
querque. It takes a lot of courage
to stand up for what’s right nowa¬
days. I know there are many people
who feel as I do, and would like
to shake your hand. I hope all the
Pagans are enjoying the best of every¬
thing back there in ’Smoky City’.”
Here is one from a Pastor down in
Greenville, South Carolina, Hoyd E.
Porter, Pastor of Woodfields Baptist
Church. Here is another letter as to
the situation down at the Casino, from
a man who works at Kaufmann’s. He
says it is disgusting and degrading even
to pass there.
So, Mr. President, I want it plainly
understood that 1 am not a crusader.
Probably I do not know too much
about art, but I think I do know some¬
thing about common decency. We all
have five natural senses—touch, taste,
smell, hearing and seeing—and In the
average man is the sense of decency
and sense of fairness and also the
sense of obligation to himself and to
his God and to his family and to his
nation. I have tried to practice that
during my life, come what may, or
what people may say, that makes no
difference to me. When I think I am
right, I am going to go ahead. I have
540
done that all my life and I am going
to continue to do it. I will let my
record as a representative of organized
labor and as a public official and as
a decent man speak for itself. My
cards all my life have always been on
the table, always face up. I have had
a lot of opportunities in my life to
"0 down the wrong path, but I know
I am just a common, ordinary human
being, and every morning when I get
out of bed I face the world the same
as any other individual in the United
States or in the world, and I know if
I do not get down on my knees and
ask God to help me, I will fall the
same as any other will. I know the
weakness of human nature and I know
how much courage they can have and
how little moral courage they can have.
After all, it is not a question of phys¬
ical courage; it is a question of moral
courage, and moral courage is far su¬
perior to physical courage.
I just thought it was Incumbent upon
me to make clear this situation; that
I did not go to No. 1 Police Station
and the Communications Center in the
interest of what the police were doing
or how good or how bad they were, I
went there to see how this important
matter that the City of Pittsburgh has
been working for a long time to put
into operation was working. That is
the reason I went there. It is unfor¬
tunate that my friend, A. L. Wolk, was
not with me or perhaps he would be
the crusader and I would be carrying
the light, but for some reason or other
he v/as talking to Mary Flinn Lawrence
and to Mr. Stalley, and he was de¬
tained and did not get there. Now I
am the brunt of the abuse. But you
see from these letters from professional
men, laymen, ministers of the gospel
and prie.sts, that they knew that the
statement of facts was either not prop¬
erly or correctly reported, and as Abra¬
ham Lincoln said a long time ago,
“You can fool some of the people all
of the time, and all of the people some
of the time, but you cannot fool all of
the people all of the time.” Apparently
that is correct.
I am sorry to take up your time.
I understand we are meeting with the
Committee on Health in a short while,
but I Just want to say this in closing.
Mr. President, "Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do.”
Thank you.
The Chair:
Your stock was never higher with the
people of Pittsburgh than it is right
now. Most people are clean-minded and
wholesome. Those people respond to
what you have done because they know
that filthy art never diminishes. It in¬
creases and increases and increases, un¬
til someone has to call a stop.
Unless someone occasionally comes
along to put a stop to sex appeals—
because that is what they are—things
become all gummed up and people grow
indifferent to situations that are down¬
right bad. Look at how the strip tease
came out of brothels to a respectable
place in public entertainment.
So, if I can be allowed to offer two
cents’ worth of advice, make it your
business every now and then—say, once
a year—to call the attention of Council
to the sexy things that are on the
stage, on the news stands and on dec¬
orative calendars. You have slowed them
up, but they will be back. The news
reporters will give your viewpoint a hu¬
morous twang and make you out just
a little bit of a “nut,” but that is
part of the game, isn’t it?
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: The only thing I know
about this is what I read in the papers,
and I agree with the action of Council¬
man Fagan, if he saw that kind of
photographs, or whatever you call them,
on calendars. I, a City Councilman, am
married to a former model, a former
Ziegfeld Follies girl, who has many
times had her pictures on calendars
and many times on billboards and in
fact In moving pictures, and she was
also a John Powers model. That is one
side of the fence. The other side of
the fence, I happen to be the repre¬
sentative of a National Union that is
in the middle of negotiating an agree¬
ment with the industry I represent that
consists of the modelers and sculptors
of that part of the United States, about
eleven hundred sculptors and models.
I have to defend what I believe in the
National Union of Professional Models
is legitimate. I believe, as the former
541
speaker has said, that they do go a
hit too far in some of their advertise¬
ments. I know nothing about this, ex¬
cept one picture I saw in the paper of
a model getting out of a car with a
basket. I do not know what it was
off or what it was, but to my way of
believing, did not see anything wrong
with that particular advertisement, for
this reason, that we live in an age
today and we did not create this age.
In defense of myself and, in particu¬
lar, of my wife, who was a professional
model and former Ziegfeld Follies girl
and at one time Captain of the Zieg¬
feld Follies, she was very devoted to
her religion and I might say a very
good Catholic. I represent that group
of people who believe in the same
rights as Mr. Fagan, but in defense of
the picture that was published in the
paper, there was nothing wrong with
it. I did not see the picture that was
torn down, but they should be torn
down and Mr. Fagan was right in tear¬
ing them down. If I had seen them.
I think I would have done likewise.
Maybe it is a “rib” job that that pic¬
ture was published in the newspaper.
Let’s take the age in which we live.
Take the operas. Mr. Wolk is the
promoter of the operas. That is art.
People who do not like that should
not go to them. We are taught that
from the Greeks on up. Let us take
our television shows. We sit back and
watch a wrestling match. We look at
Nature Boy and Gorgeous George and
Jungle Boy or some fellow with hair
all over his chest and with tights that
has only a “G” string.
And while we are on the subject of
television, let us go into this. How
about television here? We are nine
Councilmen and we are always trying
to do something for Pittsburgh. We
pick up papers in all parts of the
country and read about Pittsburgh, but
still we are wasting our energy on
something like this. It is too bad the
newspapers got hold of this. It is a
lot of nonsense. I think we should
put this energy to work in the In¬
terest of Pittsburgh. Why don’t you
break the monopoly of Mr. DuMont and
give this City the right to turn in
other channels?
We are a Democratic administration
and a Democratic administration is in
power in Washington, and our Cham¬
ber of Commerce and our City Council
and our County and our business people
should put their efforts and time to
the breaking down of the monopoly of
Mr. DuMont and whoever is back of it
and giving one station to us which is
the only major city in the United
States with only one channel and one
station.
We can get letters. Pat will get them
on one side and I will get them on
the other. That does not mean any¬
thing. What the people are interested
in today Is how long the Chamber of
Commerce and how long the Demo¬
cratic Administration and how long
the business people and the newspapers
are going to wait to put on a crusade
so that little Joe will be able to sit
down and look at his television with
more channels. I just came from the
City of Los Angeles where they have
eleven television channels and they
started after we did. Go to Harris¬
burg and you can tune in five sta¬
tions. Go to New York and you can
tunc in thirteen. Here we are in Pitts¬
burgh sitting back. We were two years
late in getting television and there is
no future to it.
Did you ever realize how many people
a few weeks ago were deprived of see¬
ing the Champion Prize Fight. That
night I was out at a funeral home
on Penn avenue. I took some people
from the funeral home over to Liberty
avenue. That is the Mayor’s Ward and
that is your Ward, Mr. President. One-
half of Liberty avenue the traffic was
blocked because a man there was kind
enough to bring his television out and
set it up on the sidewalk, because he
had a hook-up with Wheeling or Johns¬
town. Let’s take Pittsburgh station
KDKA, Westinghouse, sitting there with
television equipment and ready to
broadcast when Washington will tell
them to go ahead. Turn on your
television at four o’clock In the morn¬
ing and you will see it then. It Is
strictly a monopoly. The KDKA sta¬
tion in Pittsburgh was the first broad¬
casting station in the world. We say
Pittsburgh is going ahead. We should
kick up our heels and make them in
542
Washington know that the people in
Pittsburgh are entitled to more than
one television channel. It is not fair.
They tell you to spend five hundred
dollars and you will he able to get
Johnstown, Pa. I have seen some of
their programs and they are not so
good, either. Johnstown and Wheeling
have two channels because Pittsburgh
is powerful. Harrisburg has five chan¬
nels. Detroit has more, Chicago has
more, and the place that started later
than we did has eleven.
I think all our energies here should
be for the people. Eddie Cantor told
us that we were a hick town. I read
over the week-end that nobody knows
when we will get another channel. The
newspapers have not done a very good
Job of it, either. If they got back of
it and pushed it, they would listen.
It is true that the Mayor went to
Washington to get additional channels
in Pittsburgh, but we never got them.
We got a nice talk and the brush-off.
The people of Pittsburgh pay as much
for their television sets as they do in
New York or in Los Angeles. We have
a duty as City fathers to break down
that monopoly and give the people a
fair shake, particularly the people in
our hospitals and our children’s hos¬
pitals and our City hospitals and our
private hospitals and the invalids at
home. We do not have the opportunity
to look at another program. We com¬
plain about monopolies in utilities and
in parking and in business, but here
is little Joe today; that is the guy we
need to help. He is Pittsburgh.
I say to you, let’s go out and put
the cheese cake away. Do what Mr.
Pagan did, make them take it down,
but don’t spend all our time on that
kind of trash, when we are overlooking
the most vital thing in Pittsburgh—
and that is television. You ask the
people and see if T am wrong.

then you look over to another corner
going to remodel the property and
Mr. Posner has agreed to beautify that
unsightly hillside; and Mr. Wolk told
us that in Committee meeting the
other day.
It is true that the Planning Com¬
mission has informed Council of their
opposition, and it is also true that
the Regional Planning. Association and
the Allegheny Conference on Com¬
munity Development and the Civic
Club and the Roadside Club etc., are
in opposition to it. But aside from
that group I have not had a single
telephone call, and have not had a
letter or a telegram from any other
organization opposing the ordinance.
Organized Labor is not opposed to it.
I have not had a telegram or com¬
munication from any Service organi¬
zation, such as the American Legion
or the Veterans of Foreign Wars, or
the Amvets or the Disabled Veterans.
None of them have asked me to be
against the bill, and no individual has
come to me and asked me to oppose
this piece of legislation.
where there have been some old homes
that have been there for fifty or sev¬
enty-five years, and below that will be
the new Penn-Lincoln Parkway. When
the Parkway is constructed you will not
be able to see this billboard if you
have a periscope. Yet there is a lot
of moaning and groaning and talking
about principle and one thing and an¬
other. I believe in principles. I be¬
lieve in fundamental principles. I do
not believe in hypothetical principles,
that some people are trying to raise
in connection with this bill.
I, as one member of this Council,
speaking for myself, think we do owe
the people who own the Pittsburgh
Outdoor Advertising Company some con¬
sideration. because at the new Squirrel
Hill tubes, and we have all been out
there—we visited It one Monday morn¬
ing—and we know that they purchased
some property and erected a billboard
there. After it was erected, there were
a lot of complaints about the billboard,
and after we visited the billboard, on
the property at the entrance to the
tubes, and had a conference with Mr.
Posner, he agreed to remove that bill¬
board. Agreed of his own free will and
volition. The property was bought from
a very substantial banking institution
of the City of Pittsburgh, and as far
as I can learn, if the billboard would
have remained there, Mr. Posner and the
Pittsburgh Outdoor Advertising Com¬
pany would have gotten at least twelve
thousand dollars a year for the rental
of the board. And do you know what
would have been on the board? "Let’s
Go Gulf.” I think a lot of their friends
are here to try to high-pressure us to
try to change our minds.
It is true we had a hearing on this
very piece of legislation and certain
people appeared against it, and have
had their way, and have a right to
their story and have a right to their
opinion. I like to agree with people,
but you cannot agree with everybody.
You either have to say, yes or no, and
they did not impress me because I
feel that the opposition was trying to
make a mountain out of a molehill,
because there is going to be lots of
changes out there that are going to
bp beneficial and helpful. They are
I think that the Council, in voting
for this legislation is going to do
something that some day when they
have remodeled and rehabilitated that
plant out there and when three or
four billboards are removed, you will
find that corner, not far from Saint
Agnes’ Church, is going to be one of
the nicest comers in the City of Pitts¬
burgh, because I understand eventually
there will be a little parklet there so
that mothers can go down there with
their baby buggies and there will be
some place for them to rest, and for
recreation. That is the reason I am
voting for this bill. I think we are
doing something honest, open and
above-board and beneficial and wHI
redound to the credit of the members
of the Pittsburgh City Council.
Sometime ago in City Council, in
fact on March 18, 1941, and it is now
Ordinance No. 142 of that year, there
was a bill presented by Councilman
Gallagher, Pile No. 1177, Bill No. 2266,
which had to do with the working out
of an agreement between City Council,
the Mayor of the City of Pittsburgh
and the officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. Today there is a
552
beautiful warehouse down there. It is
as nice a warehouse as any through¬
out our nation. I can remember when
that was the most unsightly spot in
the City, and I can remember in the
days of Mr. Hoover when that was
shantytown. That was the first shanty¬
town we had in the City of Pittsburgh.
As a result of the redevelopment that
has gone on in the City of Pittsburgh
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company had
to abandon its warehouse and part of
their railroad tracks and as a result
they selected that site and asked
Council to do thus and so, and Council
did, against a lot of opposition, and
some of the people that raised most
of the opposition go out over that
beautiful highway, and traffic moves
a lot faster and the City is getting
taxes and there are a lot of men
employed in that warehouse.
I think in comparison with the new
Pennsylvania Railroad warehouse, its
location and all of the things connected
with it, that this ordinance here that
we are voting on this afternoon will
he as constructive and as beneficial
to the City of Pittsburgh as that new
warehouse of the Pennsylvania Rail¬
road Company.
Mr. President, I am in favor of the
ordinance that is now before City
Council.
Mr. Duff:
Mr. President: I propose to vote for
the enactment of this legislation, and
In doing so I have no doubt I will run
counter to the judgment of some good
citizens whose opinion I respect, but
whose judgment, I fear, is based on a
misapprehension of the facts in this
casv'. They feel that our action in
making the change will work a de¬
parture from the stand we took some
time ago when we banned billboards
from the vicinity of the Penn-Lincoln
Parkway. I voted for that legislation.
I stand for that legislation today. I
think I express the opinions of each
and every Councilman here, that this
case does not involve a departure from
the stand which we then took. This
bill does not involve the extension of
the right to erect billboards within the
area affected by the Penn-Llncoln
Parkway, At the present time there
exists upon this location a billboard,
which, as Councilman Fagan said, can¬
not be seen from the new parkway.
I went over the ground yesterday.
It is visibly only from Forbes street
or from the Boulevard of the Allies as
you approach from the east. All this
legislation contemplates is the right of
the property owner, the Pittsburgh Out¬
door Advertising Company, to move
back this sign about one hundred feet
so that the lot may he utilized for
the erection of an office building for
the use of that company. Now, that
does not involve an extension of bill¬
boards. The Company has assured us
that no additional billboards will be
erected on that site, and to fortify
their position in that respect they have
entered into an agreement with the
property owner immediately lying to
the west of their lot, whereby the
company has covenanted and agreed
not to erect any more billboards on
this site; and this agreement is bind¬
ing upon successive owners of the
property who may enforce the observ¬
ance of the covenant by an injunction
in a court of law if the Company
seeks to violate it.
So, I say, there is no extension of
billboards by this legislation, and I
see no grounds for any fears on the
part of some of our citizens that we
are departing from the stand we took.
I am moved by the consideration that
our action in this respect for the im¬
provement of the land lying on outer
Fifth avenue in the vicinity of Craft
avenue. We are going to have a mod¬
ern building to take the place of four
drab, dilapidated tenement houses. In¬
stead of that you are going to have a
modern building and some landscap¬
ing, as I understand, on the property
lying Immediately to the north of
this site.
Being of the opinion that this legis¬
lation works no extension of the right
to maintain signboaids in a prohibited
area and that the general area will
be greatly improved by the erection
of a modern building, which, without
this legislation, would not be con¬
structed, I feel that this legislation Is
proper, and I, accordingly, will vote
for its enactment.
553
Mr. Gallagher:
Mr. President: I am going to vote in
favor of this bill and 1 have no apolo¬
gies to offer, I agree with what Coun¬
cilman Fagan said, that they are mak¬
ing a mountain out of a molehill.
This Council, some lime ago, went
along with these groups in order to
beautify the highway. They brought
in a package program to eliminate
billboards or stop the erection of bill¬
boards on certain points on this Penn-
Lincoln Parkway. We went along with
them and now we are being criticized
editorially in the newspapers because
we are using our judgment, I think,
for the best interests of the City of
Pittsburgh.
If the occasion arises where some¬
body comes into Council to erect bill¬
boards on this Penn-Lincoln Parkway,
this Council has the authority to use
its discretion and decide on these cases
on their merits.
I cannot see any harm in going
along with this proposition as has
been stated here. They are not only
going to beautify a part of Fifth ave¬
nue, near their location, but they are
also erecting a building there that will
bring more taxes into the City of
Pittsburgh. I think the critics and the
opposition that came into Council last
week and tried to influence us in our
thinking, that when this program is
completed they will see their mistake
and will give us credit for using cour¬
age in a situation like this. I am
in favor of the bill.
The Chair:
My mind goes back to the many
things this Council has done over the
criticisms of the newspapers. Mr. Pagan
forgot to say what an uproar was
raised over the Pennsylvania Railroad
siding on Liberty avenue. We were
entirely right in that matter and our
critics were entirely wrong. You re¬
member the hubbub that was raised
when we started to dump garbage and
rubbish in the Twenty-eighth Ward.
You remember we were over the bar¬
rel here for months over that situation.
We were made to appear to public
view that we were men of limited in¬
telligence and not using much discre¬
tion in that matter. And what do you
find today? Council was right. The
same thing was true when we started
to use Herrs Island for dumping. We
were right there. There are so many
things. So many zoning changes.
As a matter of fact as I leave Coun¬
cil and look back over twelve years, I
can see very few bills, gentlemen,
where you decided wrong. Sitting here
now I cannot think of one, but I can
think of fifty where you were held up
to public ridicule.
On this bill, I have received four
telephone calls in connection with it.
The discussion started with the criti¬
cism of me and of you, and after I
had explained the bill the four indi¬
viduals, one of them a woman, and
three men, said “I did not understand
it.” If that is the way it is, vote
for it. One thing that is brought up
is that we are departing from principle,
and in some future Council they will
say that back in 1951 Council amended
these bills so you have set a precedent,
so amend it now, because back in 1951
City Council did amend these bills.
Gentlemen, all 1 can say is I expect
you future Councilmen to act with
the same common sense and the same
sense of integrity that we tried to use.
We cannot bind any future Council-
men or any future Council but I do
think we can leave the future to them.
These bills are all right. They will
operate and they will not hurt the
parkway. This site is on a different
level than the parkway. It is 155 feet
higher. Can you imagine a person driv¬
ing an automobile along the Parkway
with a billboard 600 feet away and 155
feet up in the air, to see it you
would have to look through the road¬
way. I would like some of our critics
to take a little ride over that parkway
when it is completed and see for them¬
selves. What did they ask us to do,
“Search our souls.” This bill is all
right.
And the bill, as read a second time,
was agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
pass finally?”
The ayes and noes were taken agree¬
ably to law, and were:
Ayes:—Messrs.

Ayes 7. Noes none.
And there being three-fourths of the
votes of Council in the affirmative, the
bill passed finally in accordance with
the provisions of the Act of Assembly
of May 11, 1921, which provides that,
where a protest is filed against a pro¬
posed zoning amendment, a three-
fourths vote of all the members of
Council in the affirmative shall be
required for final passage.

Absent; Mr
The Chair:
Members of Council, Lady and Gen¬
tlemen: The Mayor of Pittsburgh.
Honorable David L. Lawrence, Mayor,
said;
Mr. President and Members of Council:
I have the honor herewith to trans¬
mit budget estimates of expenditures
and revenues for the City’s operation
during 1952.
This budget has been necessarily pre¬
pared against a background of price
and wage inflation. Repeatedly, we
have been able to place the City’s
finances upon a stabilized, functioning
basis. Just as repeatedly, the rise in
prices and wages has destroyed our sta¬
bility, forcing us each time to adjust
our finances to the new circumstances.
Unfortunately, there can be no pain¬
less adjustment.
The City, unlike a corporation, can¬
not pass its increased costs to the
consumer, in the form of price in¬
creases on its product.
Every cent of our income must come
from the people themselves, as a com-
niunity payment for the services which
we believe are necessary for our con¬
tinued existence as a modern American
City.
We have held the line against an
increase in our real estate tax rate
for six years—since the budget for
1946.
Even now, no tax increase would be
necessary if the City were able to re¬
enact its 1951 budget on the basis of
the prices and wages which prevailed
one year ago.
Last year, we avoided a tax increase
because we refunded $3;000,000 in ma¬
turing bonds, doing so in the expecta¬
tion that new revenue sources arising
from the City’s redevelopment, growth
and intense business activity would,
within the year close the gap between
current revenues and current expendi¬
tures.
In that judgment, time proved we
were right.
Estimates of revenue for 1952, plus
our.. 1951 surplus, would be sufficient
to meet a budget based on 1951’s costs
in full including all maturing bonds.
Our present difficulties are caused by
the force of events that are beyond our
control and whose impact is far beyond
our City boundaries.
Inflationary prices raise the costs of
the materials and the services which
the City, like any business, must buy
—everything from food for its hospital
patients to street car checks. The same
inflation makes it necessary for us to
Weir

I
consider an increase—a cost-of-living
increase—in the pay of the City’s
employees.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania, by
statute, reduced the permissable hours
of work for City firemen and police-
znen. If we are to maintain the same
degree of police and fire protection
that we now provide, it will require
very substantial additions to our per¬
sonnel to make up for these lost man¬
hours.
To get to the hard figures, the City
Treasurer estimates our income for
1952 at $37,056,900.
The basic departmental estimates
total $39,049,462.
These estimates include the necessary
“attrition” additions to the materials
and supplies accounts that are funda¬
mental to the City’s operations. They
do not include provision for a cost-of-
living increase for the City’s em¬
ployees.
The average rise in wages, through
labor negotiations, in the Pittsburgh
district has been about seven and one-
half per cent. I believe it is fair to
apply this formula to City workers,
and, if Council chooses to do so, it
will cost $1,865,000 in additional ap¬
propriations for 1952.
The City employee has the same
struggle with living costs as any citi¬
zen. His wife finds that the tape at
the market registers more than It did
a year ago. His children must be
clothed, sheltered, and fed. We can¬
not ask him for an unfair burden of
sacrifice; and, if we did, the City’s
services would surely suffer to the
harm of our community.
By the same token, the City worker
must remember that every dollar in
his pay envelope comes out of the
taxes which the people pay.
And this year, every such dollar in
increased pay must come from an in¬
crease in those taxes.
The reduction in the policemen's
work week to a limit of 48 hours makes
It necessary to add sixty-five patrolmen
to the bureau of police. This person¬
nel will all be needed in traffic,
where the cornermen have been as¬
signed to duty for a 60-hour week.
Obviously, the corners in Pittsburgh’s
business districts must be covered by
traffic officers.
The sixty-five new policemen will
cost the City an additional $195,000
for salaries alone.
In the bureau of fire, where the work
week has also been reduced by legis¬
lative action, a full restoration of the
present complement of personnel would
require an additional ninety men at a
cost of $270,000, To absorb the loss
in man hours which we will suffer, we
suggest instead the organization of
mobile “task force” units, answering
every alarm as potential reinforcements,
which will require a minimum of
thirty new firemen and six new fire
captains. This will cost an additional
$116,400 in salaries.
To recapitulate, the budget estimates
then come to:
For the basic budget-$39,049,462
For employees increases- 1,865,000
For additional police_ 195,000
For additional firemen_ 116,400
Total -$41,225,862
Obviously, that figure is beyond the
reach of our present revenue struc¬
ture.
Further, it does not include the ac¬
cessory expenses of adding policemen
and firemen, such as cost of uniforms
nor docs it include certain improve¬
ments in services which are virtual
commitments of the City government.
These are steps necessary to carry
cut certain recommendations of the
report of the International Association
of Chiefs of Police in respect to the
strangling problem of traffic, princi¬
pally the improvement of supervision
in the police bureau as a whole and
in traffic in particular; relatively mod¬
est development of the public health
program, which has such vigorous c'ti-
zen support; and the staffing of parks
and recreational facilities already butic
or in construction.
The total budget requests, including
the basic budget, the salary and wage
increases, the police and fire personnel,
and the minimum service improve¬
ments, come to a final total of $41,-
582,685.
558
Against this, we have revenue esti¬
mates of $37,056,900.
We also anticipate a surplus, applica¬
ble to 1952 from this year’s operations,
which I estimate approximately at
$ 1 , 200 , 000 .
Therefore, if Council would adopt
the estimates, it would find a revenue
deficiency for 1952 of $3,325,785.
This amount could be refunded by
renewing the life of maturing bonds,
but I will not recommend this course
because I believe that the citizens of
today must have the moral courage
to avoid mortgaging the citizens of to¬
morrow. Refunding is a justifiable ex¬
pedient if an end can be seen; it is
not justifiable when it merely piles
debt upon deficits.
If we do not refund, and the budget
e.stimates are not reduced significantly
from the totals here presented, the
additional revenue must be raised from
taxes.
We have three special taxes In Pitts¬
burgh, all of which are now collected
at their maximum allowable rate.
I am fundamentally opposed to a
municipal income tax.
I am equally opposed to a sales tax.
In such opposition, I am sure I re¬
flect the sentiments of the vast ma¬
jority of the people of the City.
We must, therefore, look to an in¬
crease in the real estate tax rate if
we are to provide additional income to
the City.
To balance the budget herewith sub¬
mitted, the increase would have to be
an average one of about 3.5 mills; or,
according to our graded tax system 2.5
mills on building values and five milks
'^n land values. The graded tax works
to the benefit of the homeowner, in
that his residence has its major value
in the building and therefore is taxed
principally at the lower rate.
The yield from this millage, applied
against an estimated assessment of $i,-
035.000.000, at 94 per cent collections,
will be about $3,375,000. This vnll bring
the budget into approximate balance.
No responsible public official will
lecommend a tax increase except when
It becomes his clear duty to do so.
We have been able to hold the line
on the Pittsburgh real estate tax for
six years—years when everything else in
our economy was going up and up. I
am proud of that, and I regret that any
present necessity causes a departure,
I think that the spectacular growth
of the City has been immeasurably
aided by these policies, and, beyond a
doubt, the City will in years to come
benefit financially from today re¬
markable expansion.
It must be recognized that real
property in Pittsburgh has had the
advantage of an assessment policy
which, like our stationary tax rate, lias
been set at pre-inflation levels.
According to the State Tax Equaliza¬
tion Board, which is the official body
v/hich determines the actual market
value of real estate and compu’Ds it
with assessments, property in Pitts¬
burgh is currently assessed at about
one-half of its selling price. The county
hoard which fixes values for tax pur¬
poses quite properly, in order to sti)n-
ulate new construction, assesses i1 at
1910-41 construction costs, Sucli fac¬
tors as these certainly operate to make
the real estate tax rate less burden¬
some.
Assessments in Pittsburgh are today
still hundreds of millions of dollars
less than they were In the depths of
the depression. It is hard to believe
but the total City real estate tax billing
was higher by about three million dol¬
lars in 1931, twenty years ago, than it
was this year. And consider the differ¬
ence in value between a 1931 and a
1951 dollar.
Obviously, if assessments had fol¬
lowed the inflationary cycle, there
would be no need to raise the tax
millage. The advantage, of course, has
accrued to the taxpayer.
As' to the budget estimates, I count
no sacred cows among them. The
Council has the right and the duty to
examine each proposal and to determine
its degree of necessity. The people who
must pay the bills have the right and
the duty to make their support or their
protests known. If there are items in
tne budget which can be properly re¬
duced, that reduction will be welcome
to me.
If the people of Pittsburgh think it
is time to call a halt, by the p”e.s.sure
cf stark economic necessity, to some
phases of our community progress,
their judgment should and must pre¬
vail.
The major factor of increase is in
employee benefits—the seven and one-
half per cent pay increase and the now
compulsory reduction in the hours of
policemen and firemen. On that point,
too, we should have public judgment.
Our duty is to protect the City’s
finances, to maintain its credit, and to
administer with diligence the essential
services without which a modern City
will collapse.
Our watchword in the next year’s
operation must be economy.
I propose to establish the tightest
kind of budgetary control over the
departments, and every departmental
officer must realize that—^now.
Everything that costs money will be
more than ever important.
Our hope must be that this inflation
will come to an end, and that we will
be able, with good luck and good man¬
agement, reduce the tax burden that
we now so reluctantly impose.
The* riiair;
We express our appreciation for the
personal delivery of the Mayor’s mes¬
sage and his budget.
The Mayor came into our Council
Chamber accompanied by a citizen of
Los Angeles, California. I am sure if
any of you gentlemen would go to Los
Angeles you would be received with
the same courtesy we now extend to
Mr. Jones. We invite him to a place
on the rostrum.
Mr. Jones is an Analyst. I do not
know just what that Is, but Mr. Jones
can better explain his Job than I can.
Yon are welcome to Pittsburgh, Mr,
Jones.
Mr. Fowler Jones, Analyst of the City
of Los Angeles, California:
Thank you very much. I appreciate
being here. I appreciate all the cour¬
tesies the Mayor and your Council
have extended to me.
May I say for your edification, an
analyst is an Industrial Engineer from
Penn State who went to High School
here and went out to California. I
have been in Pittsburgh before; went
to Bellevue High School.
What is so amazing to me is the
progress and the things you are doing
here. To me, having been away for
thirty years, at first blush it Is astro¬
nomical. I realize there are many
things you have yet to do.
The matter of the budget is some¬
thing we have in Los Angeles as you
have in Pittsburgh. We have fifteen
full-time Councilmen. They meet every
day. Our assessed valuations are made
by the County and the taxes are col¬
lected by the County. We have a lim¬
ited real estate tax rate and we have
a city sales tax. We have likewise a
number of State sources of revenue
from which we receive apportionments.
Actually, to speak of the real estate
tax load now as compared to what it
was a period of years ago—about twen¬
ty-five years ago,—^the amount of reve¬
nue which we receive from the real
estate taxes in Los Angeles constituted
75% of our municipal budget. This
year they are 25% of our municipal
budget. So you can see, fortunately
for the real estate owners, we have not
had an increase in the tax levy that
perhaps we should have if real estate
were to bear the total load. However,
we have a number of tourists in Los
Angeles and the situation is different
than in Pittsburgh, and that is the
reason we have a sales tax—for the
tourists to pay. We have the problem
of the policemen and the firemen, not
so much different than here in Pitts¬
burgh. In Los Angeles, because of
the defense plants and the wages they
are paying, we have increased the
salaries of firemen and policemen
twice. They received two 5% increases
In a year. Our firemen and policemen
are among the highest paid in the
country. Our policemen work 41,3 hours
and the firemen work 61.9 hours per
week.
Again may I say I appreciate the
courtesy shown me and I am happy
to come to Pittsburgh. Thank you.

CERTIFICATE OP EMERGENCY
V/hereas, Article XIV, Section 13 of
the Act of March 7, 1901, P. L. 20, as
amended by the Act of May 31, 1911,
P, L. 461, provides that all appropria¬
tions shall be made annually by general
ordinance except in cases of emergency
when special appropriations may be
made to meet the same; and
Whereas, The Director of the De¬
partment of Public Health in letters
addressed to the Mayor of the City
of Pittsburgh and the City Controller
under date of November 26, 1951, has
stated that an emergency has arisen in
the Department of Public Health,
Tuberculosis Hospital and Municipal
Hospital, thereby making it necessary
to amend Section 26—^Tuberculosis Hos¬
pital, and Section 27—^Municipal Hos¬
pital, of Ordinance No. 606, approved
December 28, 1950, entitled, “An Ordi¬
nance fixing the number of officers

ing the number of days wherever they
appear In the aforesaid Sections 26 and
27 of the Department of Public Health
opposite the classifications of Two
Engineers, Relief Engineer, Three Ap¬
prentice Engineers, Apprentice Engineer,
Apprentice Engineer - Relief, at the
Tuberculosis and Municipal Hospitals,
for the reason that sick leave absences
and emergency repairs made it neces¬
sary for certain employees to work

days set forth In the Salary Ordinance.
Whereas. Such appears to be good
and sufficient reason to impel the
certifieation of an emergency under the
circumstances;

burgh, and Edward R. Frey, Controller
of the City of Pittsburgh, do hereby
certify to Council the existence of an

And the bill was read a second time.
Mr. Duff:
Mr. President:
This bill has been seriously consld-
590
ered for several weeks by the Commit¬
tee on Finance in budget session.
The City, like every other private or
public industry or business activity,
must depend on certain sources of
revenue in order to conduct its busi¬
ness, We have been living In an infla¬
tionary period, during which wages and
the cost of materials have steadily gone
upward. The corporation or private
enterprise meets these rising costs by
increasing the prices of the goods or
services. The City must confine its ex¬
tra cost to sources which are open to
its action. We cannot levy on all types
of property nor all types of activities
which might be available for taxation
purposes. Let me say in passing that
there is a large mass of property with¬
in the limits of the City of Pittsburgh
owned by utilities receiving all the
benefits of the services which the City
performs which might as well be be¬
yond the City limits so far as revenue
to the City is concerned. It is not
taxable by reason of the law. We must
abide by the legislative decree.
It has been charged by the Chamber
of Commerce and the Civic Club of
Allegheny County that we have in¬
creased the number of employees; it
has also been charged by the Cham¬
ber of Commerce that the assessments
have increased, with the implication
that taxes should, therefore, be reduced
or held at the present level. The an¬
swer to this statement is that the
present assessments on lands and build¬
ings within the City limits do not ap¬
proximate the assessments of twenty
years ago. I would expect from civic
associations of this character a greater
objectivity. It seems to me that these
communications represent a rather
biased attitude. True, we have increased
the number of employees; we have in¬
creased the police force; we have in¬
creased the fire force, and yet we are
below the number of policemen and
firemen in per capita ratio to the pop¬
ulation as compared with any of the
twelve or fifteen cities in our classifi¬
cation. We have extended health serv¬
ices; we have employed school guards
to take care of our children. The eight-
hour-day is gradually coming into gen¬
eral practice throughout the country
and, where that rule is put into opera¬
tion, necessarily there must be more
people employed in order to supply the
same services. All of these things are
the result of conditions over which we
have no control.
I would like to ask the representa¬
tives of the two bodies which have made
these statements whether they desire
the City to forego these functions or
to reduce them. I venture to say that
if we did, the most vociferous outcries
would come from these same organi¬
zations.
We cannot avoid Inflation. We are
in it. And, being in it, we must meet
it
I say, we have considered all these
matters very carefully. Certainly, not
one of us desires to raise taxes if we
could adopt any other resusonable
method to finance the City for the
coming year. The only other method
available to us is to resort to refund¬
ing maturing bonds which, as every¬
one knows, is not a sound principle
of financing. If we refund, It means
that our bonds will mature on an
average term of ten years which, at
two per cent interest, involves the
aggregate payment of interest amount¬
ing to twenty per cent of the prin¬
cipal—so, it is not sound financing.
I have no compunction in favorably
reporting this bill. I think it is im¬
perative that we do so. It is too bad
that it must fall on real estate but,
in view of the fact that we have no
other available source of revenue and,
also, in the last ten or twelve years
rear property within the City has not
been bearing as great a burden as it
bore previous to that, I see no Just
reason for complaint.
And the bill as read a second time
was agreed to.
And the bill v/as read a third time
and agreed to.
And the title of the bill was read
and agreed to.
And on the question, “Shall the bill
pass finally?”

ably to law, and were:

Mr. President: Has File No. 2430,
Bill No. 4888 had the approval of the
Law Department? This bill has to do
with the vacation of Watson street.
Mr. Boxheimer, Clerk of Council:
There is no Indication of it, but the
practice of the Department of Public
Works is that before submitting all
these ordinances to Council they are
sent to the Law Department. They do
not indicate that they approve them.
Mr. Weir:
Mr. President: I think the Law De¬
partment will have ample time to ex¬
amine into the matter when the Du¬
quesne Light Company files its accept¬
ance, and the Law Department can pre¬
pare that acceptance and it should take
care of the matter. This ordinance will
not be effective unless within sixty days
acceptance of its terms is filed, and
the acceptance can incorporate into it
anything that is desired, that is, with¬
in the general meaning of the ordi¬
nance.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President: I am ready to vote
for it with the reservation that it has
the ?Lpproval of the Law Department

And the bill was read a second time.
Mr. Leonard;
Mr. President: We are voting on all
bills now, is that right?
The Chair: We are voting on two
bills, the appropriation bill and the
salary bill.
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: I would like to repeat
for the record what I said in Finance
Committee. I did not vote for the ap¬
propriation bill in Committee as I ex¬
plained in Committee prior to the tak¬
ing of the vot«.
The reasons I gave, Just briefly are
that I feel that all debates and the
decisions arrived at as a result of those
debates were made behind closed doors
in the Mayor's office or the Mayor's
conference room. This, in my opinion,
is a violation of the spirit of the City
Charter Act, For that reason and other
reasons I gave in Committee I voted
against the appropriation bill in Fi¬
nance Committee a few moments ago.
In regard to the Salary bill, I stated
in Finance Committee the reasons why
I voted against it, which are the same
reasons why I voted against the ap¬
propriation bill—^because decisions were
reached behind closed doors, and in my
opinion, as I stated above, that is a
violation of the Charter Act.
I feel this way, that the debate and
the decisions should have been made
as they were made since the Institution
of the present City Charter Act up
until five years ago when they were
started to be made in secret sessions.
In defense of myself and in defense
of my vote, I want to repeat that I
knew nothing about the changes until
live minutes before we sat in Finance
Committee. That was fifteen minutes
past two o’clock. I received my copies
of the appropriation bill and the salary
bill then. Not being familiar with It
and not understanding how the deci¬
sions were arrived at, I cannot vote
for them.
Two weeks ago, in Committee meet¬
ing, I stated that I thought Council
should sit down around this Council
table and discuss all the problems con¬
fronting us relative to the City and its
employees. In my opinion we should
sit down around this Council table and
discuss the issues. We are confronted
with a serious situation with regard to
the salaries and wages of the City em¬
ployees. I have to disagree with the
iy 2 % increase. I am not familiar as
to how that percentage was arrived at.
I pointed out in Committee that an
employee earning $2,100 a year has to
pay as much for a loaf of bread and
his pound of coffee and his children's
shoes as the man in the $7,600.00 or
$8,000.00 brackets.. I am of the opinion
that the employee in the lower wage
or salary bracket, particularly those
under $4,500.00 a year are more in need
of an Increase than the employees mak¬
ing $8,000.00 a year. If we took our
time around this table before the pub¬
lic and the public press and discussed
the issues and studied the budget, that
would be the right way, but I do not
know what happened behind closed
(joors—I was not there. If we would go
through that budget and cut out the
things that we do not have to do today
and economize down to the bone and
take the “fat” out of the budget, we
would be able to give every employee
of the City a one dollar a day increase,
from the lowest paid to the highest.
This is a cost of living increase, not a
percentage increase.
My opinion is that if you pass these
bills finally, particularly the salary bill,
you are wrong because you will not be
doing what private industry does. You
will not be doing what the Government
is doing, and you will not be doing
what the Department of Labor of the
United States has recommended.
I realize that we can sit here until
midnight and even this time tomorrow
because there are enough issues to
argue, but that will not get anybody
anywhere. I do think, however, that
City Council should send this bill back
to committee and restudy it and see
if it is not possible to work out. I
.say it is possible to give all employees
a dollar a day increase.
I stated in Committee why I did not
attend the budget sessions. They are
behind closed doors and in my opinion
it is a violation of the intent of the
City Charter Act.
In Committee I stated that I thought
these bills shovUci be read. I further
stated that the amendments to the
bills should be read, publicly. That is
my opinion. That has not been done.
You spent weeks and long hours be¬
hind closed doors in what I term a
“Star chamber session” and you came
up with this decision. Yesterday or the
day before or whenever it might have
been—you said to the Clerk—print
these appropriation and salary bills, we
are going to pass them this day,
meaning today. I, as a member of
Council, It would be against my prin¬
ciple to do something when I think it
is not right, and that is the reason I
did not attend those meetings.
It is true in the salary bill you have
recognized certain prevailing wage rates
recognized by the employers in private
Indu.stry, by labor organizations, which
have been arrived at by sitting around
the table and discussing the issues and
arriving at an agreement by bargaining
collectively. In order to vote for those
agreements and prevailing wage rates in
this bill you would have to vote for the
bill in its entirety for the reason that
it is package legislation.
Prior to this meeting, I would say
about a half hour, I received a tele¬
gram from the electrical workers, which
I am going to ask the City Clerk to
read into the record.
“Pittsburgh, Pa.,
“December 20, 1951.
“Honorable Edward J. Leonard
“151 Stanton Court East, Pittsburgh
“V/e are shocked and disturbed by
rumors which we hope are unfounded
that the requests we submitted on
November 14, 1951, on behalf of the,
electrical workers employed by the
City are not being granted. We trust
that the support and cooperation we
have given to the City administra¬
tion these many years will not be
misinterpreted. We expect the mem¬
bers of Council to live up to the
much publicized declarations that the
City pays current union wages. If
you will not pay current union wages
in fact, why not cut out all further
pretense about current union wages.
Our demand without reservations is
fair treatment for all the electrical
workers.
“Wm. G. Shord,
“Business Manager, Local No. 5,

Electrical Workers.”
:\fr. Lecniard:
Mr. President: I had this read into
the record. I know nothing about this.
I did not attend the closed door ses¬
sions. I want to repeat as I have
stated ever since I have been a mem¬
ber of City Council, and if I ever hold
office whether it be public or in the
International Union or the new office
in the International Union to which I
go very shortly, I never had and never
want to have anything to do with any¬
thing that I cannot go out around the
Council table and discuss it. It has
been my teaching since I became an
adult and since becoming connected
with labor movement and in public of¬
fice, never go behind closed doors for
anything. If you do, come out and re¬
do it before the public.
(iOl
I am not voting for the appropria¬
tion bill because I am not familiar
with it, and I am not voting for the
salary bill because it is a package bill,
I do not think it is fair to give the
City of Pittsburgh employees less than
one dollar a day increase or $365.00 as
a cost of living increase, and am will¬
ing to vote for that with this under¬
standing—that if these prices level off
and come down and get back to the
valuation of a real American dollar,
where it was a couple of years ago—
then the City will have to economize
and will have to take off that dollar a
day increase. Your percentage increase
is all wet.
That is all I have to say about these
bills. It is my feeling and my opinion
and for the reasons given, I am not
voting for these bills.
And the bill as read a second time,
was agreed to.
And the bill was read a third time

MOTIONS AND HESOIAITIONS
Mr. Leonard:
Mr. President: This will probably be
the last session of City Coimcil I
shall be able to attend as a Member.
It will not be the last session I
shall attend.
In retiring from City Council volun¬
tarily, I am not retiring from interest
607
in the affairs of the City, or interest
in the welfare of the City employees
or Interest in the welfare of the
little people of the City, who do not
have high priced lawyers and lobbyists
to make known their desires, needs
and ideas for the continued growth
and development of our City. In their
interest I shall continue to observe,
study, work and at times be vocal.
I have withdrawn from Council be¬
cause I think and I have been advised
that I can be of even greater service
to the people in the other responsibili¬
ties I have.
There are, for instance, the Housing
and Redevelopment Authorities of Alle¬
gheny County, of which I have the
honor to be Chairman. There I shall be
active as ever, doing my best to see
that the people of Allegheny County
are not left behind in the construc¬
tion of homes and redevelopment of
blighted areas. Following the progres¬
sive lead of Commissioner John J. Kane
in these matters, I shall be actively en¬
gaged In these matters, which are so
Important for the ordinary citizens.
As an international officer of a
great building trades union, I expect
to be of continued value to the ordin¬
ary people of our City and County in
these and other matters. Construction
I know, and constructive I intend to
ever be.
My long service in City Council, I
am told and I hope, has been good
public service. The service hasj been a
happy service and the friendships and
associations have been good for me.
I hope this is mutual, often times it
has been rugged.
I appreciate the attentive listeners I
have had, even from those who did
not always see the problems I thought
I saw.
I appreciate the reporting of the
Pittsburgh newspapers for having
demonstrated in one sense the great¬
ness of and freedom of the American
Press. They published the news always,
even when sometimes they did not like
what I said. They published news even
when It seemed to be contrary to
policies.
They were reasonably fair and fairly
Just for the most part. This is not a
swan song. It is not goodbye. It is
merely “So long. I’ll be seeing you.”
I might say I have the honor and
privilege of attending my last meet¬
ing in City Council and it has been
a pleasure and n privilege. T am re¬
tiring on my forty-sixth birthday,
which 1.S today.
The f’lmlr:
In the early part of this year
I was compelled to undergo three
very serious surgical operations. As I
was confined to bed during the months
of January, February, March, April,
May and part of June, and It v/as
September before I was able to leave
home. The Democratic Primaries were
held in July. It was physically impos¬
sible for me to be a candidate. I did
not run for re-election to this Council.
I w'as here twelve years. I have been
President of the body for ten years.
I will always cherish the memories of
the experiences I have had. I always
thought, I still think, that I was
presiding over the best City Council
in the United States.
Pittsburgh had had a civic rebirth
in the last six years. Its progress lias
been nationally recognized. This City
Council has had a great deal to do
with that progress. I will always be
grateful that I was privileged to be
your President while you were makhig
the decisions which formed the very
keystone of the widely publicized and
praised Pittsburgh Program.
In a personal way, I want to express
Itie feeling of regard and friendship
that I hold for each of you. Never
once during my twelve years of office
have I known a member to be ruled
out of order, or put to any trouble in
the expression of his viewpoint. Every
member was freely permitted to ex¬
press himself at length, any time. You
have been courteous and kind to me.
Thank you.
I want to say some word.s of ap¬
preciation to the administration officers,
to the Directors, to the Chief Clerks,
to the entire personnel of ihe City,
all of whom responded gladly when I
made any request of them.
In a special way, and In closing,
I will always remember the kindly,
courteous, efficient response I always
608
t
received from Mr. Lindsay and Mr.
Patterson when they were City Clerk.
Mr. Boxheimer has been the same. So
have his assistants. To all of them,
and to you, I say, thanks for every¬
thing
Mr. (JaHaulier;
Mr. President: I want to express my
feelings towards the three members of
Council who are retiring from this body
to embark on a new period in their
careers.
I want to wish Mr. Leonard success
in his new endeavors and I also want
to congratulate and wish Judge John
T. Duff, Jr., a very successful term in
his new position.
And, as to you, Mr. President, I hope
that your health will be fully restored,
and that your future may be a bright
and happy one.
Mr. Fagan:
Mr. President and Members of Coun¬
cil: As they say, brevity is the soul
of wit, but Joss Billings says he does
not care how long a man talks as long
as he says something.
I want to say to Councilman Edward
J. Leonard on his retirement from City
Council, especially on his birthday, that
I wish him a very happy birthday. I
hope that he will be blessed with health
and strength, both of body and mind,
that he may carry on in the labor
movement and in his other civic duties
ill a manner that will reflect both
credit and admiration in whatever he
may do.
I also want to say to you, Mr. Presi¬
dent, that it has been a pleasure to
work with you and for you. There isn’t
any doubt about it that we are going
to miss your advice and your counsel
and your good common sense that you
have exercised since I have been in
Council.
As to Mr. John T. Duff, Jr., of course,
wc have agreed and have disagreed, but
I think it was for the best Interests of
the citizens of Pittsburgh. As Chair¬
man of the Finance Committee, Coun¬
cilman Duff, who is now Judge Duff of
the Court of Common Pleas, has done
an outstanding job. A job that will re¬
dound to his everlasting credit, and the
kind of work that he will always be
able to point to with pride for the
service he has rendered the citizens of
the greatest city in the United States,
the City of Pittsburgh.
In closing, I wish to offer a short
toast to President Kilgallen, Judge Duff
and Councilman Leonard:
"That they may always have food and
raiment and a peaceful pillow to lay
their heads, and that when they die
may they be in Heaven forty years be¬
fore the ‘dlvir knows they are dead.”
Mr. Weir:
Mr, President: Everything has been
said, but I just want to join In wish¬
ing the best of luck to all three of
you. Of course, Mr. Leonard and Mr.
Duff are leaving for other occupations
of their own choosing, Mr. President,
in your case, as you said, you were
unable to run because of a very seri¬
ous operation that you underwent the
early part of this year. Particularly to
you I would like to express the feel¬
ings of everybody in this body that we
could not have had a better or fairer
President of this Council, and will never
have a better and fairer President of
this Council. We have all had and will
continue to have the utmost confidence
in you. The best of luck.
Mr. Davis:
Mr. President: I would Just like to
add a few words. 1 am a new member
in this body, but I know each and
every one of you know me from my
former position. I want to congratulate
Councilman Leonard on his forty-sixth
birthday. He and I have had differ¬
ences of opinion, but we have always
been friends. I hope he will have a
long and successful career. To you,
Jud^e Duff, it was a pleasure working
with you and for you during the ab¬
sence of President Kilgallen. I hope I
will never have to come before you as
a Judge. Mr. President, you and I have
been friends for a long time. I hope
your health will continue to Improve,
and that some day you will be back
with us.
Mr. Duff:
Mr. President: As this day marks my
exit from this body Irx which I have
609
sat for twelve years, I think it is not
amiss to pay tribute to my colleagues.
I am very grateful, indeed, for having
had the opportunity of being a mem¬
ber of this body. Some of my colleagues
have passed within the unseen gates.
For those of us who have remained
and those who parted, I hold the great¬
est esteem and respect.
Mr. President, I want to pay tribute
to you, sir, for your friendship and
your help, and the able manner in
which you have conducted the office
of President of this body. I feel sure
I am not guilty of any flattery in say¬
ing that each and every one of us has
striven mightily to do what, in our best
judgment, was the right thing and the
best thing to do for the interest of
this great City of ours.
While we have not on all occasions
been the recipients of congratulations
of the newspapers and certain segments
of the population, it does not detract
from my concept of the ability, the
integrity and the honesty of this body,
and it is with mixed feelings that I
depart from this body today. I go to
a higher post—one that I always cher¬
ished an ambition to fill—and I hope
that in that office I shall so conduct
myself as to continue to merit your
confidence and respect.
I say in closing, hail and farewell.

AN ORDINANCE — Authorizing the
Mayor and the Director of the
Department of Public Works to execute
a long-term agreement with the Alle¬
gheny County Sanitary Authority and
the Borough of Trafford for sewage
treatment and disposal service by the
Sewage Disposal System that will serve
the City of Pittsburgh, and providing
charges therefor.
The Council of the City of Pitts-
hwrgh hereby enacts us follows:
Section 1. That the Mayor and the
Director of the Department of Public
Works arc hereby authorized and di¬
rected to execute and deliver, for and
in behalf of the City of Pittsburgh, an
agreement with the Allegheny County
Sanitary Authority and the Borough of
Trafford in form substantially as fol¬
lows:
AGREEMENT
This Agreement, dated for conven¬
ience of reference as of the first day
of__ 1950, by and
among
CITY OP PITTSBURGH
(hereinafter sometimes called the
“City”), a municipal corporation of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania located
within the County of Allegheny,
162
ALLEGHENY COUNTY SANITARY
AUTHORITY
(hereinafter sometimes called the “San¬
itary Authority”), a body corporate and
politic of the Commonwealth of Penn¬
sylvania duly created and existing under
the provisions of the Municipality
Authorities Act of 1945, as amended,
and
BOROUGH OF TRAFFORD
(hereinafter sometimes called the
“Borough”), a municipal corporation of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
located partly within the County of
Allegheny and partly within the Coun¬
ty of Westmoreland,
WITNESSETH:
Whereas, The City and the Borough
have heretofore constructed certain
sewers but do not have facilities for
the treatment and disposal of sewage,
and sewage entering their sewers is
being discharged without treatment
Into the rivers and streams; and
Whereas, A number of municipalities
adjacent to the City have connected
their sewers with the City’s sewerage
system; and
Whereas, There are many industries
in the Pittsburgh area which are dis¬
charging large quantities of industrial
wastes without treatment either direct¬
ly into such rivers and streams or in¬
directly through the sewers of the
municipalities in which they are lo¬
cated; and
Whereas, Such discharge of untreated
sewage and industrial wastes has pol¬
luted the rivers and streams, and such
pollution has made the rivers and
streams undesirable as sources of pub¬
lic water supply and unsafe for bath¬
ing, boating and other recreational
purposes; Is detrimental to business
and commercial interest in the Pitts¬
burgh area; and constitutes a serious
menace to the health and safety of the
inhabitants of the City, the Borough
and such adjacent municipalities; and
Whereas, The Sanitary Water Board
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
(hereinafter sometimes called the
“State Board”), acting to abate stream
pollution, pursuant to authority con¬
ferred upon it by the Act of the Gen¬
eral Assembly of Pennsylvania ap¬
proved June 22, 1937, P. L. 1987, as
amended, ordered and directed all
sewered municipalities in Pennsylvania,
including the City and the Borough.
(a) to discontinue the discharge of
untreated sewage into the waters of
the Commonwealth, and
(b) to submit, either alone or Joint¬
ly with any other mutually interested
municipality or municipalities, con¬
struction plans and specifications for
the necessary sewers, pumping stations
and treatment works to collect and
convey its sewage to a suitable site
or sites and pro^iide treatment there¬
of; and
Whereas, The Sanitary Authority was
organized by the County Commissioners
of Allegheny County to collect, trans¬
port, treat and dispose of the sewage
and industrial wastes of all the muni¬
cipalities in the County and thus en¬
able them to comply with the orders
of the State Board; and
Whereas, After careful consideration
of alternative projects, the City exe¬
cuted an agreement with the Sanitary
Authority for the preparation of de¬
tailed construction plans and specifica¬
tions for a Sewage Disposal System
adequate to meet the present and fore¬
seeable future needs of an area com-
I prising the City and all or portions of
fifty-eight adjacent municipalities, but
excluding the Borough, and agreed to
advance to the Sanitary Authority, as
a loan, the entire cost of such plans
and specifications, estimated at Two
Million ($2,000,000) Dollars; and
. Whereas, The City and the Sanitary
Authority are willing to enlarge the
original service area to include the
Borough, since the sewage service
charges of the Sewage Disposal Sys¬
tem will not be Increased thereby for
the reason that the estimated revenue
expected from the Borough and its
residents, plus the $30,000.00 herein¬
after required to be paid by the Bor¬
ough, will pay for the added cost of
service; and
Wherea.s, Plans and specifications
16.^5
lor any sewage disposal system will be
valueless unless substantially all the
municipalities to be served, or their
residents, become legally bound to ac¬
cept and pay for sewage collection and
treatment service from the time the
system goes into operation until such
time as the bonds to be issued for
constructing the system shall be fully
retired by the revenues thereof; and
Whereas, The City is willing to pay,
or to require its residents to pay,
after the Sewage Disposal System is
constructed and goes into operation,
the same rates for service therefrom as
shall be charge and collected through¬
out the remainder of the System’s en¬
tire service area; and
Whereas, Such uniform rates and the
expenditure by the Borough of only
$30,000.00 would result in much lower
cost to the Borough and its residents
then would result from the construc¬
tion and operation of a sewage dis¬
posal system for the Borough alone;
and
Whereas, The execution of the pres¬
ent Agreement by the Borough will
benefit the Borough and its residents
and will constitute compliance with
the orders of the State Board.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of
the premises and the undertakings of
each party to the others, the parties
hereto, each intending to legally bind
itself, its successors and its assigns,
covenant and agree as follows:
1. The City and the Sanitary Au¬
thority reaffirm their agreement of
August 1, 1949, whereunder the City
agrees to loan the Sanitary Authority
Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars for
the preparation of detailed construction
plans and specifications for a Sewage
Disposal System adequate to serve a
potential area comprising the City and
all or portions of fifty-eight adjacent
municipalities, as shown on Exhibit
A hereof; and in consideration of the
payment by the Borough of Thirty
Thousand ($30,000.00) Dollars as here¬
inafter set forth, the City and the
Sanitary Authority hereby enlarge such
area to include all of the Borough.
The City and the Sanitary Authority
each covenants with the Borough to
carry out its undertakings under said
agreement of August 1, 1949, as thus
amended to include the Borough. As
used in this Agreement the term
‘‘service area” shall mean an area in¬
cluding the entire Borough.
In no event shall the rights of the
Borough under this Agreement exceed
the rights of the municipalities in the
original service area under the similar
agreements of December 1, 1949 exe¬
cuted by them.
2. The City reserves the right, after
the plans and specifications to be pre¬
pared by the Sanitary Authority shall
have received the final approval of
the State Board, to designate the
agency which shall construct and oper¬
ate the Sewage Disposal System. Such
agency, hereinafter referred to as the
“Sewage Agency,” may be the City it¬
self, the Sanitary Authority, a munici¬
pal Authority to be organized by the
City, or any other agency having legal
authority to construct and operate the
Sewage Disposal System.
The parties agree that the rights
given under this agreement to the
Sewage Agency are primarily given to
the Sanitary Authority, for the benefit
of the City, and that the Sewage
Agency designated by the City, if
other than the Sanitary Authority,
shall be the assignee of the Sanitary
Authority’s rights. The Sanitary Au¬
thority agrees that the designation by
the City of a Sewage Agency other
than the Sanitary Authority shall con¬
stitute an assignment, by the Sanitary
Authority to the 'Sewage Agency so
designated by the City, of the Sanitary
Authority’s rights as Sewage Agency
under this Agreement. If the designated
Sewage Agency is the City, such as¬
signment shall become effective auto¬
matically; if it is neither the City nor
the Sanitary Authority such assign¬
ment shall become effective upon
formal acceptance of this Agreement by
the designated Sewage Agency. The
Sanitary Authority further covenants
to execute promptly, upon request of
the City, a formal assignment of such
rights to sucli designated Sewage
Agency, though such formal assign¬
ment is not necessary. The Borough
164
recognizes that performance of the
duties Imposed by this Agreement on
the Sewage Agency will be substantially
the same whether done by the City
itself, the Sanitary Authority an au¬
thority to be organized for such pur¬
pose by the City, or any other lawful
agency, inasmuch as the personnel of
the Sewage Agency during the extend¬
ed life of this Agreement cannot be
foreseen and would in any event not
be selected by the Borough, and since
the sewage service charges of the
Sewage Agency, as more fully herein¬
after set forth, must be uniform and
are limited to yield only sufficient
revenues to meet administrative and
operating expenses and debt require¬
ments. The Borough therefore hereby
specifically assents to any such as¬
signment, and covenants to perform
all acts and discharge all duties and
obligations required of the Borough
under this Agreement, whether the
Sewage Agency be the Sanitary Author¬
ity or any other agency designated by
the City.
The City covenants that within a
reasonable time after receiving an order
from the State Board to construct the
Sewage Disposal System, following final
approval of the plans and specifications
therefor, the City will by proper ordi¬
nance designate a suitable Sewage
Agency to construct and operate the
Sewage Disposal System in accordance
with this Agreement. Paragraphs 3-17
of this Agreement shall not be carried
into effect until the City shall, by
formal ordinance duly enacted. de.sjg-
nate such Sewage Agency.
3. The Sanitary Authority covenants
with the City and Borough and the
City similarly covenants with the Bor¬
ough, that if it is designated by the
City to be the Sewage Agency, it will
well and truly perform all the acts
and discharge all the duties and ob¬
ligations Imposed upon the Sewage
Agency by this Agreement; and that
if it is not so designated, it will co¬
operate fully with the designated
Sewage Agency and will assign to it,
without charge, any rights and powers
it may have in aid of the carrying
out of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement.
4. The City covenants with the
Borough and the Sewage Agency that
the rates and charges to be imposed
and collected by the Sewage Agency,
as hereinafter set forth, shall be uni¬
form throughout the service area of
the Sewage Disposal System and in
particular shall be the same within
the City as within the Borough, and
that all duties and obligations herein¬
after imposed upon the Borough (ex¬
cept the payment of $30,000.00 required
by Paragraph 6 hereof) will likewise
be assumed and borne by the City.
5. The Sewage Agency designated
and qualified pursuant to the pro¬
visions of Paragraph 2 of this Agree¬
ment shall.
(a) promptly issue and sell revenue
bonds, secured by Its revenues and re-
cepits collected pursuant to this Agree¬
ment and to similar agreements with
other municipalities and by all other
revenues and receipts of the Sewage
Disposal System, in sufficient amount
to pay.
(1) The cost of constructing the
Sewage Disposal System and placing
the same in operation.
(2) All loans and advances hereto¬
fore or hereafter made to the Sanitary
Authority by the City and the Federal
Works Administration.
(3) All obligations incurred by the
Sanitary Authority and by the Sewage
Agency which are repayable out of
such bond proceeds, and
(4) All other law'ful requirements of
the 'Sewage Agency, including, but
without limitation, the cost of all
lands, property, rights, easements and
franchises acquired, financing charges,
the cost of legal services, administrative
expenses and all other expenses neces¬
sary or incident to the construction
of the Sewage Disposal System and to
the financing thereof;
(b) Upon receipt of the proceeds of
such bonds, proceed promptly and with
due diligence in the construction of
the Sewage Disposal System, with the
privilege of awarding all or portions
of the actual construction work under
separate contracts to the lowest re¬
sponsible bidder for each contract;
165
(c) Upon completion of the Sewage
Disposal System, intercept all sewage
and wastes of the Borough which are
discharged from any municipal outfall
sewer located along the interceptor of
the Sewage Disposal System (subject to
the provisions of Paragraph 6 of this
Agreement), transport such sewage and
wastes to its treatment plant, provide
such treatment and disposal thereof as
may be required by law, and operate
the Sewage Disposal System in an effi¬
cient and economical manner; and
(d) Make such changes in and addi¬
tions to the Sewage Disposal System as
may be necessary to enable the Borough
to comply with any future lawful or¬
ders of the State Board or any other
State or Federal Agency in respect of
the treatment and disposal of the Bor¬
ough’s municipal sewage and wastes
which enter the Sewage Agency’s in¬
terceptor sewers, and shall issue addi¬
tional revenue bonds for such purpose
or purposes; provided, however, that
the Sewage Agency shall have the right
to increase its sewage service charges
to such extent as will yield the addi¬
tional revenue needed to meet all bond
requirements and operating and other
expenses incurred by the Sewage Agency
in the design, construction and opera¬
tion of such added facilities.
If any portion of the Sewage Agency’s
Interceptor sewers and appurtenances
thereof are located in the Borough, the
Sewage Agency shall have the right to
enter upon and open such streets, pub¬
lic thoroughfares and vacant land
owned by the Borough as may be
necessary to install, construct, extend,
repair and maintain the same or any
part thereof; provided, however, that
all pavements and underground struc¬
tures disturbed in the course of such
work shall be restored to substantially
their original condition. No Borough
permit or license shall be required for
any such work, and the Borough here¬
by waives all fees and charges in con¬
nection therewith.
It is understood and agreed that the
Sewage Agency shall Indemnify and
save the Borough harmless from all
costs and expenses (except those pro¬
vided for in this Agreement), liability,
claims and demands of any sort aris¬
ing out of the construction, extension.
replacement, operation, maintenance, re¬
pair or possession of the Sewage Dis¬
posal System by the Sewage Agency.
6. In order to enlarge the service
area of the Sewage Disposal System so
as to include the Borough, it will be
necessary to increase the capacity of
the proposed special Sewage Agency In¬
terceptor sewer to be laid from Pit¬
cairn to Trafford (which special sewer
was originally planned to serve only
the Westinghouse Electric Corporations
Trafford Plant), as well as to provide
added capacity elsewhere in the Sys¬
tem, and to extend such special sewer
along Turtle Creek and Brush Creek
to make connection with all of the
Borough’s existing outfall sewers now
discharging municipal sewage into such
creeks. In consideration of the pay¬
ment by the Borough to the Sanitary
Authority of the sum of Ten Thousand
($10,000) Dollars on or before Sep¬
tember 1, 1951, the Sanitary Authority
shall prepare the necessary plans and
specifications for the facilities required
to serve the Borough and its residents;
and in consideration of the payment
hy the Borough to the Sewage Agency
of the further sum of Twenty Thou¬
sand ($20,000) Dollars before the con¬
tract for construction is awarded, the
Sewage Agency shall construct the nec¬
essary facilities. Such payments are
hereby made conditions precedent. Fail¬
ure of the Borough to make either
payment promptly shall terminate the
Borough’s rights under this Agreement
and shall relieve the Sanitary Author¬
ity, the City and the Sewage Agency
from any obligation to provide sewage
treatment service to the Borough and
its residents.
Provision will be made, In the plans
and specifications to be prepared by
the Sanitary Authority, for the con¬
nection with the Sewage Agency’s In¬
terceptor sewer of all of the Borough’s
municipal outfall sewers now In place
therealong, and such connections will be
made by the Sewage Agency without
cost to the Borough.
All other outfall sewers now used by
the Borough and every municipal out¬
fall sewer hereafter constructed shall
be brought to a point to be approved
by the Sewage Agency (or, prior to the
designation and qualification of the
166
Sewage Agency, by the Sanitary Au¬
thority), in order that proper connec¬
tion with the Sewage Agency intercep¬
tor sewer may be made. Each such
connection shall be made in such man¬
ner as the Sewage Agency shall direct,
and at the expense of the Borough.
7. The City and the Sanitary Au¬
thority reserve the right, prior to the
designation of the Sewage Agency, and
the City and Sewage Agency shall have
the right thereafter, subject to the ap¬
proval of the State Board but without
consulting or notifying the Borough,
to permit additional municipalities
which are partially or entirely outside
the original service area shown on
Exhibit A hereof to pump or drain
additional sewage or wastes from terri¬
tory outside such original service area
into the Sewage Disposal System for
treatment and disposal by the Sewage
Agency; provided, however, that no
such permission shall be given unless
an agreement similar to the present
Agreement shall he executed with the
affected municipality or municipalities.
The City and the Sanitary Authority,
or the City and the Sewage Agency, as
the case may be, also reserve the simi¬
lar right to enter into agreements with
industrial firms within and without
the service area for the treatment and
dfsposal of their sewage and wastes
which do not enter a municipal sewer;
provided, however, that the service
charges shall be at least as high as
those imposed on the Borough and its
water users by this Agreement.
8. The Borough covenants and
agrees that the Sewage Agency shall
be the sole and exclusive agency, dur¬
ing the entire life of this Agreement,
to provide sewage treatment and dis¬
posal service to the Borough and to
all its water users therein who or
which discharge sewage or wastes into
the Borough’s sewerage system. The
Borough hereby permits and authorizes
the Sewage Agency to impose upon and
collect from all such water users the
sewage service charges hereinafter set
forth, and covenants to perform all the
acts and discharge all the duties and
obligations imposed upon it by this
Agreement. The Borough further cove¬
nants that it will not itself engage in
the business of providing sewage treat¬
ment and disposal service to such
water users, nor will it authorize or
permit any other agency, public or pri¬
vate, to do so in competition with or in
substitution for the Sewage Agency.
9. Beginning immediately after the
Sewage Disposal System has been com¬
pleted and put in operation, the Sew¬
age Agency shall, for the services and
facilities furnished or to be furnished
by it, impose upon and collect from the
owner, tenant or occupant of each lot
or parcel of land within the Borough
from which sewage or wastes enter a
Borough sewer and thence reach the
Sewage Disposal System (hereinafter
sometimes called a “user” or “water
user”), rates, fees or charges (herein¬
after sometimes called “sewage service
charges” or “charges”), which shall be
based or computed upon the quantity
of water used in or upon such lot or
parcel as determined by gauging or
metering or otherwise.
The Sewage Agency’s schedule of
sewage service charges shall be uniform
throughout the entire service area of
the Sewage Disposal System, and shall
be so calculated as to yield In the ag¬
gregate during each month or quarter
year the amount required In each
such month or quarter year for paying
all current administrative and operat¬
ing expenses of the Sewage Agency
and the interest on and the principal
of all outstanding bonds and other
obligations as the same become due
and payable, and to create such re¬
serves for such purposes as may be
required by the resolution authorizing
the issuance of its bonds or in the
trust indenture securing the same. The
schedule shall impose reasonable min¬
imum charges, may Include such block
rates for metered water users and
such charges for flat-rate water users
as the Sewage Agency shall determine,
and shall provide extra charges for
commercial and industrial wastes which
impose an extraordinary burden on the
Sewage Disposal System. The schedule
shall be adjusted from time to time
in such manner as the Sewage Agency
shall deem necessary or proper to in¬
sure the collection of adequate reve¬
nues to meet Its financial requirements.
In case any water user Is not the
owner of the premises in or on whiqh
167
the water is used, the Sewage Agency
may also impose such sewage service
charges upon and demand payment
thereof from the owner of such prem¬
ises, so that if payment is not made
promptly, a lien therefor against the
premises served may he filed by the
Borough as assignee of the Sewage
Agency delinquent accounts, as pro¬
vided in Paragraph 13 of this Agree¬
ment,
10. The Borough covenants that
during such time as sewage service
charges of the Sewage Agency are In
effect the Borough will not impose upon
any person, firm or corporation, or
upon any property, any rental, rate or
charge whatever for the use of or for
the privilege of using any Borough
sewer connected with the Sewage Dis¬
posal System, to the end that no per¬
son, firm or corporation shall be sub¬
ject to both the Sewage agency’s sew¬
age service charge, as herein provided,
and a Borough sewer rental, rate or
charge of any kind whatever excepting
general real estate taxes, sewer con¬
nection and street opening permit or
license fees, and special assessments
imposed according to law upon prop¬
erty benefited by the construction of
additional sewers, and excepting charges
Imposed on other municipalities for
the Joint use, maintenance or repair
of a Borough sewer or sewers.
The provisions of this Paragraph
shall not apply so long as the op¬
tional method of payment provided for
in Paragraph 15 of this Agreement Is
in effect.
11. All bills for sewage service
charges shall be computed on the basis
of the quantity of water used, whether
the water is furnished by the water¬
works system of the Borough or se¬
cured from any other source.
The sewage service charge to be paid
by each water user within the Borough
shall be computed as follows:
(a) Metered water customers—by
applying the Sewage Agency’s sched¬
ule of charges then in effect to the
quantity of water delivered to each
water customer during the preceding
quarter year or other meter period,
as measured by the most recent
water meter reading;
(b) Flat-rate water customers—by
applying the percentage set forth in
the Sewage Agency’s schedule of
charges then in effect to the flat-
rate water bill;
(c) Users of water taken from a
private water source or public
stream—by applying the Sewage
Agency’s schedule of charges then in
effect to the quantity of water used
as estimated by the Sewage Agency;
provided, however, that if any such
water user shall at his or its own
expense Install and maintain in good
operating condition a meter or other
measuring device of a type approved
by the Sewage Agency, the amount
payable by such water user shall be
based upon the quantity of water
used as so measured.
If the Borough or other water sup¬
plying agency does not make available
promptly to the Sewage Agency the
necessary data for computing the sew¬
age service charge of any water user,
such water user shall be deemed to be
a flat-rate water customer, and the
sewage service charge for such water
user shall be calculated In the same
manner as for flat-rate customers,
based upon the estimated flat-rate
water bill such customer would have
to pay.
There shall be no free services ren¬
dered by the Sewage Disposal System,
and the Borough (or any department,
agency or instrumentality thereof) and
all public corporations, all charitable
or non-profit institutions and all school
districts and other political sub-di¬
visions shall pay for the use of the
services and facilities thereof in ac¬
cordance with the established schedule
of sewage service charges.
If any substantial portion of the
water used regularly on any lot or
parcel of land does not enter the
Borough’s sewerage system, the owner,
tenant or occupant of such lot or
parcel may secure a reduction in the
amount of the sewage service charges
to be paid by him, subject to the
established minimum charges, by In¬
stalling, at his own expense and sub¬
ject to such regulations as may be pre¬
scribed by the Sewage Agency, a sep¬
arate meter or other measuring device
168
approved by the Sewage Agency for
measuring the water so used, in which
event the quantity of water so used
shall thereafter be excluded in com¬
puting the sewage service charges to be
paid by the owner, tenant or occupant
of such lot or parcel.
In cases where the character of sew¬
age or Industrial wastes from any com¬
mercial, manufacturing or industrial
plant, building or premises is such
that it imposes a burden upon the
Sewage Disposal System in addition to
the burden Imposed by the average
sewage, such additional charge shall be
made therefor as the Sewage Agency
shall deem to be fair and equitable to
meet the additional cost of collecting,
transporting, treating and disposing of
such sewage or wastes; or the Sewage
Agency may, if it deems it advisable,
require the owner, tenant or occupant
of such commercial, manufacturing or
Industrial plant, building or premises
to pre-treat such sewage or wastes in
such manner as shall be specified by
the Sewage Agency before discharging
such sewage or wastes into the Bor¬
ough's sewerage system.
12. In order to enable the Sewage
Agency to compute its sewage service
charges based thereon, as provided In
Paragraph U hereof, the Borough, if it
operates its own waterworks system,
shall furnish to the Sewage Agency,
not later than the 15th day of the
month following the month during
which water bills are Issued, a list or
lists of all water meter readings and
flat-rate water bills issued during the
preceding calendar month together with
the basis for each flat-rate water user’s
water bill, and shall indlude therein
the meter readings of meters installed
by water user taking water from a
private water source or public stream.
The Sewage Agency will request similar
information from the private water
company, municipal authority or other
agency supplying water to any water
users within the Borough. If by reason
of failure to obtain such data promptly
the Sewage Agency is compelled to
treat any water users as though they
were flat-rate water customers, as
further provided above in the said
Paragraph 11, and in so doing is obliged
to survey the premises of each such
water user for the purpose of deter¬
mining his or its flat-rate water status,
the cost incurred by the Sewage Agency
in making such survey or surveys shall
be repaid to it by the Borough. The
Borough authorizes the Sewage Agency
to make such survey or surveys, and
it is agreed that every water user, In
accepting the Sewage Agency’s service,
authorizes the Sewage Agency to enter
1 upon his or its premises for such pur¬
pose.
The Sewage Agency will reimburse
the Borough and other water supplying
agencies, on or before April first of
each year, for the reasonable added
clerical expense incurred by each of
them during the previous calendar
year In preparing the lists of metered
water data and of flat rate bills herein¬
above referred to, but not for the cost
of reading meters, excepting only the
cost of reading such meters as may be
Installed by or for users of water who
are not connected with their respective
waterworks systems.
13. The Schedule of sewage service
charges to be Imposed and collected
during any year by the Sewage Agency
shall be so calculated and adjusted as
to provide revenues which will be suf¬
ficient to pay all current expenses and
meet all obligations of the Sewage
Agency during such year. It Is under¬
stood by the Borough that not all bills
for .sewage service charges will be paid
promptly, and that some of such bills
in an indeterminate amount will be¬
come delinquent each year. In consid¬
eration of the services rendered by
the Sewage Agency to ^ the Borough
under the provisions of this Agree¬
ment. which will effect compliance by
the Borough with the duty Imposed
upon it by law to cease the pollution
of the waters of the Commonwealth,
and in further consideration of the
assignment to it of the delinquent ac¬
counts, as hereinafter provided, the
Borough agrees to pay to the Sewage
Agency, out of the Borough’s current
revenues as hereinafter provided, the
face amount of all delinquent accounts
of the Sewage Agency.
If any water user shall fall to pay
the sewage service charges of the Sew¬
age Agency within sixty (60) days
after the due date of the bill there-
i
169
for, the account of such water user
shall be deemed delinquent. The Sewage
Agency shall prepare and submit to the
Borough, on or before January 1, April
1, July 1, and October 1 of each year,
a list of all delinquent accounts, show¬
ing the face amount of each account,
the penalty thereon, and the interest
accrued. The Borough shall, within
60 days after the furnishing of such
list, pay to the Sewage Agency the
face amount of all such delinquent ac¬
counts. Upon receipt of such amount
from the Borough, the Sewage Agency
shall promptly assign to the Borough
all such accounts, for the sole use and
benefit of the Borough.
The Sewage Agency agrees that the
Borough shall have the right to pur¬
sue and enforce any and all remedies
now available or hereafter to become
available to it, to compel payment by
any delinquent water user of the
sewage service charges, together with
penalties, interest and costs, which may
be due and owing by him or it.
14. The Borough agrees that if the
schedule of sewage service charges In
effect at any time does not, or in the
opinion of the Sewage Agency may not,
yield sufficient revenue to meet the
Sewage Agency’s financial requirements,
or if the Sewage Agency finds that
such schedule has proved to be in¬
equitable, the Sewage Agency shall have
the right at any time and from time
to time to revise and adjust its sewage
service charges in such manner and to
such extent as it may deem advisable.
At least sixty (60) days before any
revised sewage service charges shall be¬
come effective, the Sewage Agency shall
submit in writing to the Borough a
statement setting forth the new sched¬
ule of sewage service charges and the
reasons why it was found necessary or
desirable to put them into effect. Such
new schedule of charges shall go into
effect at the time specified in said
statement (not earlier, however, than
sixty (60) days from the furnishing of
such statement), unless suspended by
a final decree of a court of competent
Jurisdiction.
15. The Borough shall have the op¬
tion of paying the aggregate amount of
all sewage service charges which, under
Paragraphs 9-14 of this Agreement,
would he payable by its water users,
in consideration of the performance by
the Sewage Agency of the Borough’s
legal duty to cease the pollution of the
waters of the Commonwealth. In such
event, the individual charges of each
water user shall be computed in the
same manner as hereinbefore set forth,
but instead of sending individual bills
to all water users, all such individual
bills shall be totaled and the aggre¬
gate amount thereof shall be billed
quarterly to the Borough. The Borough
covenants that so long as such method
of payment is in effect it will pay
each such quarterly aggregate amount,
out of the Borough’s current revenues
as hereinafter provided, within sixty
(60) days after the date of the bill
therefor. The Sewage Agency will re¬
fund to the Borough, on or before
April first of each year, as a credit
for the saving in billing expense, the
sum equal to the average cost per cus¬
tomer incurred by the Sewage Agency
during the preceding calendar year for
billing and collecting its charges from
individual water users in all other
municipalities served by it, multiplietl
by the average number of individual
water users in the Borough.
Before the Sewage Disposal System
is completed and put in operation, the
Sewage Agency shall request the Bor¬
ough in writing to indicate whether it
desires to adopt the optional method
of payment provided for in this Para¬
graph. Unless the Borough shall so
indicate by ordinance duly enacted not
later than ninety (90) days after the
date of Sewage Agency’s written re¬
quest, and shall promptly send to the
Sewage Agency a certified copy of such
ordinance, the method of payment pro¬
vided for in Paragraphs 9-14 of this
Agreement shall become effective.
No change in the method of payment
applicable to the Borough and its
water users shall be made except at
the request of the Borough made by
ordinance duly enacted, and with the
approval of the Sewage Agency, for¬
mally given by ordinance or resolution.
16. If there exists any connection
through which sewage or wastes ema¬
nating from any territory outside the
corporate limits of the Borough enters
170
the Borough’s sewerage system and
thence reaches the Sewage Agency’s
interceptor sewer, and If the munici¬
pality having jurisdiction over such
territory does not execute an agree¬
ment with the Sewage Agency similar
to this Agreement, the Borough shall
either promptly shut off or remove
such connection or shall pay to the
Sewage Agency, so long as such sew¬
age continues to enter the Borough’s
sewerage system, the estimated cost of
collecting, transporting, treating and
disposing of such sewage, such esti¬
mated cost to be approximately the
same as If the water users within such
territroy were subject to the Sewage
Agency’s prevailing sewage service
charges.
17. The Borough shall annually pro¬
vide in Its budget for obtaining the
funds necessary to meet its obligations
under this Agreement. On or before
October 1 of each year the Sewage
Agency shall supply to the Borough’s
governing body a written estimate of
the total amount of delinquent ac¬
counts, or (if the optional method of
payment is applicable to the Borough)
of the total aggregate amount of all
sewage service charges, which the Bor¬
ough will probably be required to pay
to the Sewage Agency during the en¬
suing fiscal year; plus. In either case,
the estimated amount (If any) due
under Paragraph 16 of this Agreement.
The Borough shall, by proper ordi¬
nance, promptly levy a special tax, or
provide for obtaining revenues In any
other lawful manner, or resort to any
two or more methods of securing the
funds required under this Agreement,
in such manner as to assure that the
Borough shall obtain or collect during
the ensuing fiscal year a sum which,
together with any unused moneys re¬
maining from previous years, will be
at least 120% of such estimated amount
to become due under this Agreement
during such year. The revenues col¬
lected from such tax levy or from any
other source so designated by the Bor¬
ough, or from any combination thereof
which the Borough may elect to em¬
ploy, shall be deposited to the credit
of a special fund to be designated
"Sewage Agency Fund,” the moneys in
which shall be used by the Borough to
meet its obligations under this Agree¬
ment and shall not be used for any
other purpose whatever.
If the entire amount due the Sew¬
age Agency under this Agreement for
any year is not paid out of the cur¬
rent revenues of the Borough for such
year the balance thereof shall be paid
out of the current revenues of suc¬
ceeding years.
18. The Sewage Agency shall have
the right to promulgate, issue, publish
and enforce rules and regulations gov¬
erning its activities and carrying into
effect the provisions of this Agreement.
Such rules and regulations may Include
provisions prohibiting or regulating the
discharge into the Borough’s Sewerage
system of oils, acids and other sub¬
stances which may be harmful to the
Sewage Agency’s sewers, pumping sta¬
tions or other structures or which may
interfere with the sewage treatment
processes of the Sewage Agency’s plant.
The Borough may, in its own discre¬
tion and without let or hindrance from
the Sewage Agency, permit the con¬
nection with any Borough sewer that
discharges into a Sewage Agency in¬
terceptor sewer of any kind and all
premises used wholly as private dwell¬
ings, but no permit shall be Issued by
the Borough for the connection with
any such sewer of any premises used
wholly or in part for commercial or
industrial purposes unless the applica¬
tion for such permit shall first have
been submitted to and been approved
by the Sewage Agency.
The Borough recognizes that the car¬
rying out by the Sewage Agency of Its
obligations under this Agreement will
enable the Borough to perform the
duty Imposed upon it by law to pro¬
vide for the proper treatment and dis¬
posal of its sewage, and the Borough
therefore agrees to exercise for the
benefit of the Sewage Agency all rights
and powers which it may possess to
carry into effect the purposes and in¬
tent of this Agreement. The Borough
accordingly agrees, on request of the
Sewage Agency, to enact an ordinance
incorporating all or designated por¬
tions of the Sewage Agency’s rules and
regulations and providing appropriate
penalties for the violation thereof, to
amend such ordinance from time to
171
time as requested by the Sewage
Agency, and to enforce the provisions
thereof fully and prosecute all violators
thereof diligently.
19. This Agreement shall become ef¬
fective immediately, and shall remain
in full force and effect, subject to the
provisions of Paragraphs 2 and 3 here¬
of, until the date of expiration of the
legal existence of the Sewage Agency
or until the expiration of one calendar
year following the payment in full of
all bonds, notes and other obligations
of the Sewage Agency, original and re¬
funding, issued by it to finance the
construction, replacement, maintenance
and operation of the Sewage Disposal
System and additions thereto, which¬
ever date shall be later.

Whereas, The City is desirous of as¬
sisting and cooperating with the Local
Authority in such undertakings;
Now, Therefore, in consideration of
the mutual covenants hereinafter set
forth, the parties hereto do agree as
follows:
1. Whenever used in this agreement:
(a) The term “Project'* shall mean
any war housing which is here¬
after conveyed to the Local Au¬
thority for low-rent use and for
which the conveyance has been re¬
quested by the governing body of
the City.
(b) The term “Taxing Body” shall
mean the State or . any political
subdivision or taxing unit thereof
in which a Project is situated and
which would have authority to
assess or levy real or personal prop¬
erty taxes or to certify such taxes
to a taxing body or public officer
to be levied for its use and bene¬

cluding all other income of such
Project), less the cost to the Local

deavor to secure a contract or contracts
with the PHA for the acquisition and
operation of one or more Projects for
low-rent use.
3. (a) Under the Constitution and
Statutes of the Commonwealth of Penn¬
sylvania, all Projects are exempt from
all real and personal property taxes
and special assessments levied or im¬
posed by any Taxing Body. With re¬
spect to any Project, so long as either
(i) such Project is owned by a public
body or governmental agency and Is
used for low-rent housing purposes, or
(11) any contract between the Local
Authority and the PHA in connection
with such Project remains in force
and effect, or (iii) any monies due to
the PHA in connection with such
Project remain unpaid, whichever period
is the longest, the City agrees that it
will not levy or impose any real or
personal property taxes or special as¬
sessments upon such Project or upon
the Local Authority with respect there¬
to. During such period, the Local
Authority shall make annual payments
(herein called “Payments in Lieu of
Taxes”) to the City in lieu of such
taxes and special assessments and in
payment for the public services and
facilities furnished from time to time
without other cost or charge for or

(b) For the tax year in which the
conveyance from the PHA to the Local
Authority is made and the next suc¬
ceeding tax year each annual Payment
in Lieu of Taxes .shall be in an amount
equal to either (i) the real property
taxes which would be paid to all Tax¬
ing Bodies for each of such years If
208
the Project were not exempt from tax*
ation, less any Payments in Lieu of
Taxes previously paid by the Federal
Government or the Local Authority for
such year, and also less such allow¬
ance as may be considered by the Local
Authority to be appropriate for ex¬
penditures by either the Federal Gov¬
ernment or the Local Authority for the
repair and maintenance of streets, util¬
ities, or other public services to serve
such Project or (ii) the amount per¬
mitted to be paid by applicable state
law in effect on the date such pay¬
ment is made, which ever amount is

made at the time when real property
taxes on such Project would be paid
if it were subject to taxation. The City
shall distribute such Payments in Lieu
of Taxes for said two years among the
Taxing Bodies in the same proportion
in which real property taxes would
have been paid to each Taxing Body
for such year if the Project were not
exempt from taxation, Provided, that
any deduction or allowance made on
account of expenditures by the Federal
Government or the Local Authority
shall be deducted from the payment
to the appropriate Taxing Body which
should have rendered the service in¬
volved.

years referred to In paragraph 3 (b)
above, each such annual payment in
Lieu of Taxes shall be made after the
end of the fiscal year established for
such Project, and shall be in an
amount equal to either (1) that pro¬
portion of ten (10%) per centum of the
aggregate Shelter Rent charged by the
Local Authority in respect to such
Project during such fiscal year which
the real property tax which would
have been paid to the City for such
year if the Project were not exempt
from taxation bears to the total real
property taxes which would have been
paid to all of the Taxing Bodies for
such year if the Project were not ex¬
empt from taxation; or (ii) the amount
permitted to be paid by applicable state
law in effect on the date such pay¬
ment is made, whichever amount is
the lower.
(d) No payment for any year shall
be made to the City In excess of the
amount of the real property taxes
which would have been paid to the
City for such year if the Project were
not exempt from taxation.
(e) Upon failure of the Local Au¬
thority to make any Payments in Lieu
of Taxes, no lien against any Project
or assets of the Local Authority shall
attach, nor shall any Interest or penal¬
ties accrue or attach an account there¬
of.
4. During the period commencing
with the date of the acquisition of any
Project and continuing so long as
either (i) such Project is owned by a
public body or governmental agency
and is used for low-rent housing pur¬
poses, or (11) any contract between
the Local Authority and the PHA in
connection with such Project remains in
force and effect, or (lii) any monies
due to the PHA in connection with
such Project remain unpaid, whichever
period is the longest, the City, without
cost or charge to the Local Authority
or the tenants of such Project, other
than the Payments in Lieu of Taxes,
shall:
(a) Furnish or cause to be fur¬
nished to the Local Authority and

fully do so, (1) grant such devia¬
tions from the building code of
the City as are reasonable and
necessary to promote economy and
efficiency in the administration of

zoning of the site and surround¬
ing territory of such Project as

the surrounding territory;

such Project; and
209
f
(d) Cooperate with the Local Au¬
thority by such other lawful action
or ways as the City and the Local
Authority may find necessary in
connection with the administration
of such Project.
5. In respect to any Project the
City further agrees that within a rea¬
sonable time after receipt of a written
request therefor from the Local Au¬
thority it will accept the dedication
of all interior streets, roads, alleys, and
adjacent sidewalks within the area of
such Projects, together with all storm
and sanitary sewer mains in such
dedicated areas, provided the same
comply with applicable regulations of
the City and are in accordance with
specifications acceptable to the City.
6. If by reason of the City’s failure
or refusal to furnish or cause to be
furnished any public services or facili¬
ties which it has agreed hereunder to
furnish or to cause to be furnished to
the Local Authority or to the tenants
of any Project, the Local Authority in¬
curs any expense to obtain such ser¬
vices or facilities then the Local Au¬
thority may deduct the amount of
such expense from any Payments in
Lieu of Taxes due or to become due
to the City in respect to any Project
or any other low-rent housing projects
owned or operated by the Local Au¬
thority.
7. No Cooperation Agreement hereto¬
fore entered into between the City and
the Local Authority shall be construed
to apply to any Project covered by
this Agreement.
8. So long as any contract between
the Local Authority and the PHA in
connection with any Project remains in
force and effect, or so long as any
monies due to the PHA in connection
with any Project remain unpaid, this
Agreement shall not be abrogated,
changed, or modified without the con¬
sent of the PHA. The privileges and
obligations of the City hereunder shall
remain in full force and effect with
respect to each Project so long as the
beneficial title to such Project is held
by the Local Authority or by any other
public body or governmental agency,
including the PHA, authorized by law to
engage in the development or admin¬
istration of low-rent housing projects.
If at any time the beneficial title to,
or possession of, any Project is held
by such other public body or govern¬
mental agency, including the PHA, the
provisions hereof shall inure to the
benefit of and may be enforced by,
such other public body or governmental
agency, including the PHA.
In Witness Whereof, The City and
the Local Authority have respectively
signed this Agreement and caused their
seals to be affixed and attested as of
the day and year first above written.

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated for con¬
venience of reference as of the first
day of_ 1950,
by and among
CITY OF PITTSBURGH
(hereinafter sometimes called the
“City”), a municipal corporation of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
located within the County of Alle¬
gheny,
223
■f
ALLEGHENY COUNTY
SANITARY AUTHORITY
(hereinafter sometimes called the “Sani¬
tary Authority”), a body corporate and
politic of the Commonwealth of Penn¬
sylvania duly created and existing un¬
der the provisions of the Municipality
Authorities Act of 1945, as amended,
and
TOWNSHIP OF
(hereinafter sometimes called the
“Township”), a political subdivision of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania also
located within the County of Allegheny,
WITNESSETH:
Whereas, The City and the Township
have heretofore constructed certain
sewers but do not have facilities for
the treatment and disposal of sewage,
and sewage entering their sewers is
being discharged without treatment
into the rivers and streams; and
Whereas, A number of municipalities
adjacent to the City have connected
their sewers with the City’s sewerage
system; and
Whereas, There are many industries
in the Pittsburgh area which are dis¬
charging large quantities of industrial
wastes without treatment either di¬
rectly into such rivers and streams or
indirectly through the sewers of the
municipalities in which they are lo¬
cated; and
Whereas, Such discharge of un¬
treated sewage and industrial wastes
has polluted the rivers and streams,
and such pollution has made the
rivers and streams undesirable as
sources of public water supply and
unsafe for bathing, boating and other
recreational purposes; is detrimental to
business and commercial Interests in
the Pittsburgh area; and constitutes
a serious menace to the health and
safety of the inhabitants of the City,
the Township and such adjacent mu¬
nicipalities; and
Whereas, The SSanitary Water Board
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
(hereinafter sometimes called the
“State Board”), acting to abate stream
pollution, pursuant to authority con¬
ferred upon it by the Act of the Gen¬
eral Assembly of Pennsylvania approved
June 22, 1937, P. L. 1987, as amended,
ordered and directed all sewered mu¬
nicipalities in Allegheny County, in¬
cluding the City and the Township
(a) to discontinue the discharge
of untreated sewage into the waters
of the Commonwealth, and
(b) to submit, either alone or
Jointly with any other mutually in¬
terested municipality or municipali¬
ties, construction plans and specifi¬
cations for the necessary sewers,
pumping stations and treatment
works to collect and convey its sew¬
age to a suitable site or sites and
provide treatment thereof; and
Whereas, The Sanitary Authority was
organized by the County Commissioners
of Allegheny County to collect, trans¬
port, treat and dispose of the sewage
and industrial wastes of all the munici¬
palities in the County and thus enable
them to comply with the orders of the
State Board; and
Whereas, After careful consideration
of alternative projects, the City exe¬
cuted an agreement with the Sanitary
Authority for the preparation of de¬
tailed construction plans and specifi¬
cations for a Sewage Disposal System
adequate to meet the present and fore¬
seeable future needs of an area com¬
prising the City and all or portions of
fifty-eight adjacent municipalities, but
excluding the Township, and agreed
to advance to the Sanitary Authority, as
a loan, the entire cost of such plans
and specifications, estimated at Two
Million ($2,000,000) Dollars; and
Whereas, The City and the Sanitary
Authority are willing to enlarge the
original service area to include the
Township, since the sewage service
charges of the Sewage Disposal System
will not be Increased thereby for the
reason that the estimated revenue ex¬
pected from the Township and its resi¬
dents will pay for the added cost of
service; and
Whereas, Plans and specifications for
any sewage disposal system will be
valueless unless substantially all the
municipalities to be served, or their
residents, became legally bound to
accept and pay for sewage collection
224
and treatment sei’vice from the time
the system goes into operation until
such time as the bonds to be issued
for construction the system shall be
fully retired by the revenues thereof;
and ,
Whereas, The City is willing to pay,
or to require its residents to pay, after
the Sewage Disposal System is con¬
structed and goes into operation, the
same rates for service therefrom as
shall be charged and collected through¬
out the remainder of the System’s en¬
tire service area; and
Whereas, Such uniform rates would
result in much lower cost to the Town¬
ship and its residents than would re¬
sult from the construction and opera¬
tion of a sewage disposal system for
the Township alone; and
Whereas, The execution of the present
Agreement by the Township will bene¬
fit the Township and its residents and
will constitute compliance with the or¬
ders of the State Board.
Now, Therefore, in consideration of
the premises and the imdertakings of
each party to the others, the parties
hereto, each intending to legally bind
itself, its successors and its assigns,
covenant and agree as follows:
1. The City and the Sanitary Au¬
thority reaffirm their agreement of
August 1, 1949, whereunder the City
agrees to loan to the Sanitary Au¬
thority Two Million ($2,000,000) Dollars
for the preparation of detailed con¬
struction plans and specifications for a
Sewage Disposal System adequate to
serve a potential area comprising the
City and all or portions of fifty-eight
adjacent municipalities, as shown on
Exhibit A hereof, and hereby enlarge
such area to include all of the Town¬
ship. The City and the Sanitary Au-:
thority each covenants with the Town¬
ship to carry out its undertakings
under said agreement of August 1,
1949, as thus amended to Include the
Township. As used in this Agreement
the term “service area” shall mean an
area Including the Township or so
much thereof as is above described.
In no event shall the rights of the
Township under this Agreement ex¬
ceed the rights of the municipalities
in the original service area under the
similar agreements of December 1, 1949,
executed by them.
2. The City reserves the right, after
the plans and specifications to be pre¬
pared by the Sanitary Authority shall
have received the final approval of the
State Board, to designate the agency
which shall construct and operate the
'Sewage Disposal System. Such agency,
hereinafter referred to as the “Sewage
Agency,” may be the City itself, the
Sanitary Authority, a Municipal Au¬
thority to be organized by the City, or
any other agency having legal authority
to construct and operate the Sewage
Disposal System.
The parties agree that the rights
given under this Agreement to the
Sewage Agency are primarily given to
the Sanitary Authority, for the benefit
of the City, and that the Sewage
Agency designated by the City, if other
than the Sanitary Authority, shall be
the assignee of the Sanitary Authority’s
rights. The Sanitary Authority agrees
that the designation by the City of a
Sewage Agency other than the Sanitary
Authority shall constitute an assign¬
ment, by the Sanitary Authority to the
Sewage Agency so designated by the
City, of the Sanitary Authority’s right
as Sewage Agency under this Agree¬
ment. If the designated Sewage Agency
is the City, such assignment shall be¬
come effective automatically; if It Is
neither the City nor the Sanitary Au¬
thority such assignment shall become
effective upon formal acceptance of
this Agreement by the designated Sew¬
age Agency. The Sanitary Authority
further covenants to execute promptly,
upon request of the City, a formal
assignment of such rights to such des¬
ignated Sewage Agency, though such
formal assignment is not necessary.
The Township recognizes that perform¬
ance of the duties imposed by this
Agreement on the Sewage Agency will
be substantially the same whether done
by the City Itself, the Sanitary Au¬
thority, an authority to be organized
for such purpose by the City, or any
other lawful agency, inasmuch as the
personnel of the Sewage Agency during
the extended life of this Agreement
cannot be foreseen and would in any
event not be selected by the Township,
and since the sewage service charges
225
I
of the Sewage Agency, as more fully
hereinafter set forth, must be uniform
and are limited to yield only suffi¬
cient revenues to meet administrative
and operating expenses and debt re¬
quirements. The Township therefore
hereby specifically assents to any such
assignment, and covenants to perform
all acts and discharge all duties and
obligations required of the Township
under this Agreement, whether the
Sewage Agency be the Sanitary Au¬
thority or any other agency designated
by the City.
The City covenants that within a
reasonable time after receiving an order
from the State Board to construct the
Sewage Disposal System, following final
approval of the plans and specifications
therefor, the City will by proper ordi¬
nance designate a BUitable Sewage
Agency to construct and operate the
Sewage Disposal System in accordance
with this Agreement. Paragraphs 3-17
of this Agreement shall not be carried
into effect until the City shall, by for¬
mal ordinance duly enacted, designate
such Sewage Agency.
3. The Sanitary Authority covenants
with the City and Township, and the
City similarly covenants with the Town¬
ship, that if it is designated by the
City to be the Sewage Agency, It will
well and truly perform all the acts and
discharge all the duties and obliga¬
tions imposed upon the Sewage Agency
by this Agreement; and that if it is
not so designated, It will cooperate
fully with the designated Sewage
Agency and will assign to it, with¬
out charge, any rights and powers it
may have in aid of the carrying out
of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.
4. The City covenants with the
Township and the Sewage Agency that
the rates and charges to be imposed
and collected by the Sewage Agency,
as hereinafter set forth, shall be uni¬
form throughout the service area of
the Sewage Disposal System and in
particular shall be the same within
the City as within the Township, and
that all duties and obligations herein¬
after imposed upon the Township will
likewise be assumed and borne by the
City.
5. The Sewage Agency designated
and qualified pursuant to the provi-
.sions of Paragraph 2 of this Agree¬
ment shall
(a) Promptly issue and sell reve¬
nue bonds, secured by its revenues
and receipts collected pursuant to
this Agreement and to similar agree¬
ments with other municipalities and
by all other revenues and receipts
of the Sewage Disposal System, in
sufficient amount to pay
(1) the cost of constructing the
Sewage Disposal System and plac¬
ing the same in operation,
(2) all loans and advances here¬
tofore or hereafter made to the
Sanitary Authority by the City and
the Federal Works Administration,
(3) all obligations Incurred by
the Sanitary Authority and by the
Sewage Agency which are repaya¬
ble out of such bond proceeds, and
(4) all other lawful require¬
ments of the Sewage Agency, in¬
cluding, but without limitation,
the cost of all lands, property,
rights, easements and franchises ac¬
quired, financing charges, the cost
of legal services, administrative ex¬
penses and all other expenses nec¬
essary or incident to the construc¬
tion of the Sewage Disposal Sys¬
tem and to the financing thereof;
(b) upon receipt of the proceeds
of such bonds, proceed promptly and
with due diligence in the construc¬
tion of the Sewage Disposal System,
with the privilege of awarding all or
portions of the actual construction
work under separate contracts to the
lowest responsible bidder for each
contract;
(c) upon completion of the Sewage
Disposal 'System, intercept all sew¬
age and wastes of the Township
which are discharged from any mu¬
nicipal outfall sewer located along
the interceptor sewers of the Sewage
Disposal System (subject to the pro¬
visions of Paragraph 6 of this Agree¬
ment), transport such sewage and
wastes to its treatment plant, pro-»
vide such treatment and disposal
thereof as may be required by law,
and operate the Sewage Disposal Sys¬
tem in an efficient and economical
manner; and
(d) make such changes in and ad¬
ditions to the Sewage Disposal System
as may be necessary to enable the
Township to comply with any future
lawful orders of the State Board or
any other State or Federal Agency in
respect of the treatment and disposal
of the Township’s municipal sewage
and wastes which enter the Sewage
Agency’s interceptor sewers, and shall
issue additional revenue bonds for
such purpose or purposes; provided,
however, that the Sewage Agency
shall have the right to increase its
sewage service charges to such extent
as will yield the additional revenue
needed to meet all bond requirements
and operating and other expenses in¬
curred by the Sewage Agency In the
design, construction and operation of
such added facilities.
If any portions of the Sewage
Agency’s interceptor sewers and appur¬
tenances thereof are located in the
Township, the Sewage Agency shall have
the right to enter upon and open such
streets, public thoroughfares and va¬
cant land owned by the Township as
may be necessary to install, construct,
extend, replace, repair and maintain
the same or any part thereof; provided,
however, that all pavements and un¬
derground structures disturbed in the
course of such work shall be restored
to substantially their original condition.
No Township permit or license shall be
required for any such work, and the
Township hereby waives all fees and
charges In connection therewith.
It is understood and agreed that the
Sewage Agency shall indenmlfy and
save the Township harmless from all
costs and expenses (except those pro¬
vided for In this Agreement), liability,
claims and demands of any sort aris¬
ing out of the construction, extension,
replacement, operation, maintenance, re¬
pair or possession of the Sewage Dis¬
posal System by the Sewage Agency.
6. The Sewage Agency’s interceptor
sewers will be constructed approxi¬
mately where shown on the map
marked “Exhibit A” attached hereto
and made a part of this Agreement.
The Township imderstands and agrees
that the Sewage Agency will accept for
treatment and disposal only such sew¬
age and wastes entering the Township’s
sewers as are discharged from munici¬
pal outfall sewers (belonging to the
Township or to any other municipality)
located along such Interceptor sewers,
and that it shall be the obligation of
the Township to bring its sewage and
wastes to a proper point of connection
with such interceptor sewers, as here¬
inafter set forth. If the service area
as enlarged by Paragraph 1 of this
Agreement does not Include the entire
Township, the Sewage Agency shall not
have any obligation to serve any por¬
tion of the Township outside such
area unless another agreement similar
to the present Agreement shall be exe¬
cuted covering such outside territory.
No sewer connection whereby sewage
or wastes from any territory outside
such enlarged service area may reach a
Sewage Agency interceptor sewer
through the Township’s sewerage sy.s-
tem shall be made or permitted by the
Township without the approval of the
Sewage Agency formally given by re.so-
lution or ordinance.
Provision will be made, In the plan.s
and specifications to be prepared by
the Sanitary Authority, for the connec¬
tion with the Sewage Agency's inter¬
ceptor sewers of all municipal outfall
sewers now in place therealong, and
only such outfall sewers now being
used by the Township as are located
therealong will be connected with the
Sewage Agency’s interceptor sewer.s
without cost to the Township.
All other outfall sewers now used
by the Township and every municipal
outfall sewer hereafter constructed shall
be brought to a point to be approved
by the Sewage Agency (or, prior to the
designation and qualification of the
Sewage Agency, by the Sanitary Au¬
thority), In order that proper con¬
nection with the Sewage Disposal Sys¬
tem may be made. Each such connec¬
tion shall be made in such manner as
the Sewage Agency shall direct, and
at the expense of the municipality or
munlclpalitle.q using such outfall sewer.
227
7. The City and the Sanitary Au¬
thority reserve the right, prior to the
designation of the Sewage Agency, and
the City and the Sewage Agency shall
have the right thereafter, subject to
the approval of the State Board but
without consulting or notifying the
Township, to permit additional mu¬
nicipalities which are partially or en¬
tirely outside the original service area
shown on Exhibit A hereof to pump or
drain additional sewage or wastes from
territory outside such original service
area into the Sewage Disposal System
for treatment and disposal by the Sew¬
age Agency; provided, however, that no
such permission shall be given unless
an agreement similar to the present
Agreement shall be executed with the
affected municipality or municipalities.
The City and the Sanitary Authority,
or the City and the Sewage Agency, as
the case may be, also reserve the eiml-
lar right to enter into agreements with
industrial firms within and without the
service area for the treatment and dis¬
posal of their sewage and wastes which
do not enter a municipal sewer; pro¬
vided, however, that the service
charges shall be at least as high as
those imposed on the Township and
its water users by this Agreement.
8, The Township covenants and
agrees that the Sewage Agency shall
be the sole and exclusive agency, dur¬
ing the entire life of this Agreement,
to provide sewage treatment and dis¬
posal service to the Township or to bo
much thereof as is within the service
area of the Sewage Disposal System
and to all its water users therein who
or which discharge sewage or wastes
into the Township’s sewerage system.
The Township hereby permits and au¬
thorizes the Sewage Agency to impose
upon and collect from all such water
users the sewage service charges herein¬
after set forth, and covenants to per¬
form all the acts and discharge all the
duties and obligations Imposed upon it
by this Agreement. The Township fur¬
ther covenants that it will not Itself
engage in the business of providing
sewage treatment and disposal service
to such water users, nor will it au¬
thorize or permit any other agency,
public or private, to do so in compe¬
tition with or in substltion for the
Sewage Agency.
9. Beginning Immediately after the
Sewage Disposal System heis been com¬
pleted and put in operation, the Sew¬
age Agency shall, for the services and
facilities furnished or to be furnished
by it, impose upon and collect from
the owner, tenant or occupant of each
lot or parcel of land within the Town¬
ship from which sewage or wastes enter
a Township sewer and thence reach
the Sewage Disposal System (hereinafter
sometimes called a "user” or "water
user”), rates, fees or charges (herein¬
after sometimes called "sewage service
charges” or "charges"), which shall be
based or computed upon the quantity
of water used in or upon such lot or
parcel as determined by gauging or
metering or otherwise.
The Sewage Agency’s schedule of
.sewage service charges shall be uni¬
form throughout the entire oervlce
area of the Sewage Disposal System,
and shall be so calculated as to yield
in the aggregate during each month
or quarter year the amount required
in each such month or quarter year for
paying all current administrative and
operating expenses of the Sewage
Agency and the interest on and the
principal of all outstanding bonds and
other obligations as the same become
due and payable, and to create such
reserves for such purposes as may be
required by the resolution authorizing
the issuance of its bonds or in the trust
indenture securing the same. The
schedule shall impose reasonable min¬
imum charges, may Include such block
rates for metered water users and such
charges for flat-rate water users as the
Sewage Agency shall determine, and
shall provide extra charges for com¬
mercial and industrial wastes which
impose an extraordinary burden on the
Sewage Disposal System. The schedule
shall be adjusted from time to time in
such manner as the Sewage Agency
shall deem necessary or proper to in¬
sure the collection of adequate reve¬
nues to meet its financial requirements.
In case any water user is not the
owner of the premises in or on which
the water is used, the Sewage Agency
may also Impose such sewage service
228
charges upon and demand payment
thereof from the owner of such prem¬
ises, so that If payment is not made
promptly, a lien therefor against the
premises served may be filed by the
Township as assignee of the Sewage
Agency delinquent accounts, as pro¬
vided in Paragraph 13 of this Agree¬
ment.
10, The Township covenants that
during such time as sewage service
charges of the Sewage Agency are in
effect the Township will not Impose
upon any person, firm or corporation,
or upon any property, any rental, rate
or charge whatever for the use of or
for the privilege of using any Township
sewer connected with the Sewage Dis¬
posal System, to the end that no per-
.son, firm or corporation shall be sub¬
ject to both the Sewage Agency’s sewage
service charge, as herein provided, and
a Township sewer rental, rate or charge
of any kind whatever excepting general
real estate taxes, sewer connection and
street opening permit or license fees,
and special assessments imposed ac¬
cording to law upon property bene¬
fited by the construction of additional
sewers, and excepting charges Imposed
on other municipalities for the joint
use, maintenance or repair of a Town¬
ship sewer or sewers.
•
The provisions of this Paragraph shall
not apply so long as the optional
method of payment provided for in
Paragraph 15 of this Agreement is In
fflfect.
11. All bills for sewage service
charges shall be computed on the basis
of the quantity of water used, whether
the water is furnished by the water¬
works system of the Township or se¬
cured from any other source.
•3
The sewage service charge to be paid
by each water user within the Town¬
ship shall be computed as follows:
(a) Metered water customers—by
applying the Sewage Agency’s sched¬
ule of charges then In effect to the
quantity of water delivered to each
water customer during the preceding
quarter year or other meter period,
as measured by the most recent water
meter reading;
(b) Plat-rate water customers—by
applying the percentage set forth in
the Sewage Agency’s schedule of
charges then in effect to the flat-
rate water bill;
(c) Users of water taken from a
private water source or public stream
—by applying the Sewage Agency's
.schedule of cnarges then in effect to
the quantity of water used as esti¬
mated by the Sewage Agency; pro¬
vided, however, that if any such
water user shall at his or its own
expense install and maintain in good
operating condition a meter or other
measuring device of a type approved
by the Sewage Agency, the amount
payable by such water user shall be
based upon the quantity of water
used as so measured.
If the Town.shlp or other water sup¬
plying agency does not make available
promptly to the Sewage Agency the
necessary data for computing the sew¬
age service charge of any water user,
such water user shall be deemed to be
a flat-rate water customer, and the
sewage service charge for such water
user shall be calculated in the same
manner as for flat-rate water custo¬
mers, based upon the estimated flat-
rate water bill such customer would
have to pay.
There shall be no free services
rendered by the Sewage Disposal Sys¬
tem, and the Township (or any depart¬
ment, agency or instrumentality there¬
of) and all public corporations, all
charitable or non-profit institutions and
all school districts and other political
sub-divisions shall pay for the use of
the services and facilities thereof In
accordance with the established sched¬
ule of sewage service charges.
If any substantial portion of the
water used regularly on any lot or par¬
cel of land does not enter the Town¬
ship’s sewerage system, the owner, ten¬
ant or occupant of such lot or parcel
may secure a reduction in the amount
of the sewage service charges to be
paid by him, subject to the established
minimum charges, by Installing, at his
own expense and subject to such regu¬
lations as may be prescribed by the
Sewage Agency, a separate meter or
229
other measuring device approved by
the Sewage Agency for measuring the
water so used, in which event the
quantity of water so used shall there¬
after be excluded in computing the
sewage service charges to be paid by
the owner, tenant or occupant of such
lot or parcel.
In cases where the character of
sewage or industrial wastes from any
commercial, manufacturing or indus¬
trial plant, building or premises is such
that it imposes a burden upon the
Sewage Disposal System in addition to
the burden imposed by the average
sewage, such additional charge shall be
made therefor as the Sewage Agency
shall deem to be fair and equitable to
meet the additional cost of collecting,
transporting, treating and disposing of
such sewage or wastes; or the Sewage
Agency may, if it deems it advisable,
require the owner, tenant or occupant
of such commercial, manufacturing or
industrial plant, building or premises
to pre-treat such sewage or wastes in
such manner as shall be specified by
the Sewage Agency before discharging
such sewage or wastes into the Town¬
ship’s sewerage system.
12. In order to enable the Sewage
Agency to compute Its sewage service
charges based thereon, as provided in
Paragraph 11 hereof, the Township, If
it operates its own waterworks system,
shall furnish to the Sewage Agency,
not later than the 15th day of the
month following the month during
which water hills are Issued, a list or
lists of all water meter readings and
flat-rate water bills issued during the
preceding calendar month together with
the basis for each flat-rate water user’s
water bill, and shall Include therein
the meter readings of meters installed
by water users taking water from a
private water source or public stream.
The Sewage Agency will request similar
information from the private water
company, municipal authority or other
agency supplying water to any water
users within the Township. If by rea¬
son of failure to obtain such data
promptly the Sewage Agency Is com¬
pelled to treat any water users as
though they were flat-rate water cus¬
tomers, as further provided above in
the said Paragraph 11, and in so doing
is obliged to survey the premises of
each such water user for the purpose of
determining his or its flat-rate water
status, the cost incurred by the Sewage
Agency in making such survey or sur¬
veys shall be repaid to it by the Town¬
ship. The Township authorizes the
Sewage Agency to make such survey or
surveys, and it i.s agreed that every
water user, in accepting the Sewage
Agency’s service, authorizes the Sewage
Agency to enter upon his or its prem¬
ises for such purpose.
The Sewage Agency will reimburse
the Township and other water supply¬
ing agencies, on or before April first
of each year, for the reasonable added
clerical expense incurred by each of
them during the previous calendar
year in preparing the lists of metered
water data and of flat rate bills here¬
inabove referred to, but not for the
cost of reading meters, excepting only
the cost of reading such meters a.s
may be installed by or for users of
water who are not connected with their
respective waterworks systems.
13. The Schedule of sewage service
charges to be imposed and collected
during any year by the Sewage Agency
shall be so calculated and adjusted as
to provide revenues which will be suf¬
ficient to pay all current expenses and
meet all obligations of the Sewage
Agency during such year. It is under¬
stood by the Township that not all
bills for sewage service charges will be
paid promptly, and that some of such
bills In an Indeterminate amount will
become delinquent each year. In con¬
sideration of the services rendered by
the Sewage Agency to the Township
under the provisions of this Agreement,
which will effect compliance by the
Township with the duty Imposed upon
it by law to cease the pollution of the
waters of the Commonwealth, and In
further consideration of the assignment
to it of the delinquent accounts, as
hereinafter provided, the Township
agrees to pay to the Sewage Agency,
out of the Township’s current revenues
as hereinafter provided, the face
amount of all delinquent accounts of
the Sewage Agency.
If any water user shall fail to pay
2,30
the sewage service charges of the Sew¬
age Agericy within sixty (60) days
after the due date of the bill therefor,
the account of such water user shall
be deemed delinquent. The Sewage
Agency shall prepare and submit to
the Township, on or before January 1,
April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each
year, a list of all delinquent accounts,
showing the face amount of each ac¬
count, the penalty thereon, and the
interest accrued. The Township shall,
within 60 days after the furnishing of
such list, pay to the Sewage Agency
the face amount of all such delinquent
accounts. Upon receipt of such amount
from the Township, the Sewage Agency
shall promptly assign to the Township
all such accounts, for the sole use and
benefit of the Township.
The Sewage Agency agrees that the
Township shall have the right to pur¬
sue and enforce any and all remedies
now available or hereafter to become
available to it, to compel payment by
any delinquent water user of the sew¬
age service charges, together with pen¬
alties, interest and costs, which may be
due and owing by him or it.
14, The Township agrees that if the
schedule of sewage service charges in
effect at any time does not, or in the
opinion of the Sewage Agency may not,
yield sufficient revenue to meet the
Sewage Agency's financial requirements,
or if the Sewage Agency finds that
such schedule has proved to be in¬
equitable, the Sewage Agency shall have
the right at any time and from time
to time to revise and adjust Its sewage
service charges in such manner and to
such extent as it may deem advisable.
At least sixty (60) days before any
revised sewage service charges shall
become effective, the Sewage Agency **
shall submit in writing to the Town¬
ship a statement setting forth the new
schedule of sewage service charges and
the reasons why It was found necessary
or desirable to put them into effect.
Such new schedule of charges shall go
Into effect at the time specified in
said statement (not earlier, however,
than sixty (60) days from the fur¬
nishing of such statement), unless sus¬
pended by a final decree of a court of
competent Jurisdiction.
15. The Township shall have the
option of paying the aggregate amount
of all sewage service charges which,
under Paragraphs 9-14 of this Agree¬
ment, would be payable by its water
users, in consideration of the perform¬
ance by the Sewage Agency of the
Township's legal duty to cease the
pollution of the waters of the Com¬
monwealth. In such event, the indi¬
vidual charges of each water user shall
be computed in the same manner as
hereinbefore set forth, but instead of
I sending individual bills to all water
users, all such individual bills shall be
totaled and the aggregate amount
thereof shall be billed quarterly to the
Township, The Towmship covenants that
so long as such method of payment la
in effect it will pay each such quar¬
terly aggregate amount, out of the
Township’s current revenues as herein¬
after provided, within sixty (60) days
after the date of the bill therefor. The
Sewage Agency will refund to the Town¬
ship, on or before April first of each
year, as a credit for the saving in bill¬
ing expense, a sum equal to the aver¬
age cost per customer incurred by the
Sewage Agency during the preceding
calendar year for billing and collecting
its charges from individual water users
in all other municipalities served by
it, multiplied by the average number
of individual water users in the Town¬
ship.
Before the Sewage Disposal System Is
completed and put in operation, the
Sewage Agency shall request the Town¬
ship in writing to indicate whether It
desires to adopt the optional method
of payment provided for in this Para¬
graph. Unless the Township shall so
indicate by ordinance duly enacted not
later than ninety (90) days after the
date of the Sewage Agency’s written
request, and shall promptly send to
the Sewage Agency a certified copy of
such ordinance, the method of pay¬
ment provided for in Paragraph 9-14 of
this Agreement shall become effective.
No change in the method of payment
applicable to the Township and Its
water users shall be made except at
the request of the Township, made by
ordinance duly enacted, and with the
approval of the Sewage Agency, for¬
mally given by ordinance or resolution.
231
16, If there exists any connection
through which sewage or wastes ema¬
nating from any territory outside the
corporate limits of the Township enters
the Township’s sewerage system and
thence reaches the Sewage Agency’s In¬
terceptor sewer, and if the municipality
having jurisdiction over such territory
does not execute an agreement with
the Sewage Agency similar to this Agree¬
ment, the Township shall either
promptly shut off or remove such con¬
nection or shall pay to the Sewage
Agency, so long as such sewage con¬
tinues to enter the Township’s sewer¬
age system, the estimated cost of col¬
lecting, transporting, treating and dis¬
posing of such sewage, such estimated
cost to be approximately the same as
if the water users within such terri¬
tory were subject to the Sewage
Agency’s prevailing sewage service
charges.
17. The Township shall annually
provide in its budget for obtaining the
funds necessary to meet Its obliga¬
tions under this Agreement. On or
before October 1 of each year the Sew¬
age Agency shall supply to the Town¬
ship’s governing body a written esti¬
mate of the total amount of delinquent
accounts, or (if the optional method of
payment is applicable to the Town¬
ship) of the total aggregate amount of
all sewage service charges, which the
Township will probably be required to
pay to the Sewage Agency during the
ensuing fiscal year; plus, in either case,
the estimated amount (if any) due
under Paragraph 16 of this Agreement.
The Township shall, by proper ordi¬
nance, promptly levy a special tax, or
provide for obtaining revenues In any
other lawful manner, or resort to any
two or more methods of securing the
funds required Under this Agreement,
in such manner as to assure that the
Township shall obtain or collect during
the ensuing fiscal year a sum which,
together with any unused moneys re¬
maining from previous years, will be
at least 120% of such estimated amount
to become due under this Agreement
during such year. The revenues col¬
lected from such tax levy or from any
other source so designated by the
Township, or from any combination
thereof which the Township may elect
to employ, shall be deposited to the
credit of a special fund to be desig¬
nated “Sewage Agency Fund,” the
moneys in which shall be used by the
Township to meet its obligations under
this Agreement and shall not be used
for any other purpose whatever.
If the entire amount due the Sew¬
age Agency under this Agreement for
any year is not paid out of the cur¬
rent revenues of the Township for
such year the balance thereof shall be
paid out of the current revenues of
succeeding years.
18. 'The Sewage Agency shall have
the right to promulgate, issue, publish
and enforce rules and regulations gov¬
erning its activities and carrying Into
effect the provisions of this Agree¬
ment. Such rules and regulations may
include provisions prohibiting or reg¬
ulating the discharge into the Town¬
ship’s sewerage system of oils, acids
and other substances which may be
harmful to the Sewage Agency’s sewers,
pumping stations or other structures
or which may Interfere with the sew¬
age treatment processes of the Sewage
Agency’s plant.
The Township may, in its own dis¬
cretion and without let or hindrance
from the Sewage Agency, permit the
connection with any Township sewer
that discharges into a Sewage Agency
Interceptor sewer of any and all prem¬
ises used wholly as private dwellings,
but no permit shall be issued by the
Township for the connection with any
such sewer of any premises used wholly
or in part for commercial or industrial
purposes unless the application for
such permit shall first have been sub¬
mitted to and been approved by the
Sewage Agency.
The Township recognizes that the
carrying out by the Sewage Agency of
Its obligations under this Agreement
will enable the Township to perform
the duty Imposed upon it by law to
provide for the proper treatment and
disposal of its sewage, and the Town¬
ship therefore agrees to exercise for
the benefit of the Sewage Agency all
rights and powers which it may pos¬
sess to carry Into effect the purposes
and intent of this Agreement. The
232
Township accordingly agrees, on request
of the Sewage Agency, to enact an
ordinance Incorporating all or desig¬
nated portions of the Sewage Agency’s
rules and regulations and providing ap¬
propriate penalties for the violation
thereof, to amend such ordinance from
time to time as requested by the Sew¬
age Agency, and to enforce the provi¬
sions thereof fully and prosecute all
violators thereof diligently.
19. This Agreement shall become ef¬
fective immediately, and shall remain
in full force and effect, subject to the
provisions of paragraph 2 hereof, until
the date of expiration of the legal
existence of the Sewage Agency or
until the expiration of one calendar
year following the payment in full of
all bonds, notes and other obligations
of the Sewage Agency, original and re¬
funding, issued by it to finance the
construction, replacement, maintenance
and operation of the Sewage Disposal
System and additions thereto, which¬
ever date shall be later.

AN ORDINAN’CE — Authorizing the
^ Mayor and the Director of the De¬
partment of Public Works to execute a
long-term agreement with the Alle¬
gheny County Sanitary Authority and
the American Cyanamid Company for
233
sewage and industrial waste treatment
and disposal service by the Sewage Dis¬
posal System that will serve the City
of Pittsburgh, and providing charges
therefor. , j.i:!/
The Council of the City of Pitts-
hiirgh hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. That the Mayor and the
Director of the Department of Public
Works, are hereby authorized and di¬
rected to executef and deliver, for and
in behalf of the City of Pittsburgh, an
agreement with the Allegheny County
Sanitary Authority and the American
Cyanamid Company in form substan¬
tially as follows:
AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated for con¬
venience of reference as of the first
day of February, 1950, by and among
CITY OP PITTSBURGH
(hereinafter sometimes called the
“City”), a municipal corporation of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania located
within the County of Allegheny,
ALLEGHENY COUNTY SANITARY
AUTHORITY
(hereinafter sometimes called the “Sani¬
tary Authority”), a body corporate and
politic of the Commonwealth of Penn¬
sylvania duly created and existing un¬
der the provisions of the Municipality
Authorities Act of 1945, as amended,
and
AMERICAN CYANAMID COMPANY
(hereinafter sometimes called the ‘‘Com¬
pany”), a Main corporation, having its
principal offices in New York City, New
York,
WITNESSETH:
Whereas, The City and the Sanitary
Authority have entered into an Agree¬
ment dated August 1, 1949, under
which the 'Sanitary Authority is about
to begin the preparation of detailed
construction plans and specifications
for a Sewage Disposal System to serve
the City and numerous adjacent mu¬
nicipalities; and
Whereas, The Company has been
ordered by the Sanitary Water Board
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
acting pursuant to authority conferred
upon it by Act of the General Assem¬
bly of Pennsylvania approved June 22,
1937, P. L. 1987, as amended, to cease
discharging into the streams of the
Commonwealth the untreated sewage
and wastes emanating from its plants
in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and
to provide adequate facilities for the
proper treatment thereof; and
W'hereas, At the request and at the
expense of the Company, the Sanitary
Authority made a study and submit¬
ted a report which concluded that the
Company’s sewage and wastes could be
accepted for treatment and disposal by
the projected Sewage Disposal System,
subject to certain restrictions set forth
in said report; and
Whereas, Numerous municipalities
have executed long-term agreements for
sewage treatment service from the pro¬
jected Sewage Disposal System; and
Whereas, The added investment nec¬
essary to provide adequate facilities to
accommodate the Company’s sewage
and wastes cannot be made unless the
Company binds itself to take sewage
treatment service exclusively from the
projected Sewage Disposal System for
the same long period of time as do
the participating municipalities: and
Whereas, The Company deems it
economical and otherwise advantageous
to have the sewage and wastes of its
plants treated and disposed of by the
said Sewage Disposal System pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, rather
than to build and operate suitable
treatment and disposal facilities of its
own.
Now, Therefore, In consideration of
the premises and the undertakings of
each party to the others, the parties
hereto, each intending to legally bind
itself, its successors and its assigns,
covenant and agree as follows:
1. The standard form of long-term
agreement by and among the City, the
Sanitary Authority and each of the
numerous other municipalities to be
served by the projected Sewage Dls-
234
}
posal System (sometimes hereinaftei*
referred to as the “Municipal Agree¬
ment”), consisting of 27 pages and a
map marked Exhibit A, of which a
copy has been submitted to the Com¬
pany, is incorporated herein and made
a part of this Agreement by reference
thereto. Except to the extent that the
same may be inconsistent herewith, all
relevant provisions of said Municipal
Agreement shall be binding upon the
parties hereto, the Company hereby
acquiring all the rights and becoming
subject to all the obligations of the
party referred to therein as the “Bor¬
ough” or the “Township.” The terms
“Sewage Disposal System,” “Sewage
Agency” and "State Board” shall have
the same meanings herein as those
given them in the said Municipal
Agreement. ; 1
2, The Company hereby designates,
engages and appoints the Sewage
Agency as the sole and exclusive in¬
strumentality, during the entire life of
this Agreement, to provide sewage and
Industrial waste collection, treatment
and disposal service (subject to the
provisions hereinafter contained) to the
Company's present plants, buildings and
other premises in Bridgeville Borough,
Collier Township and South Fayette
Township (all in Allegheny County,
Pennsylvania), a nd to replacements
thereof and extensions and additions
thereto. The Company agrees that dur¬
ing such period it will not itself pro¬
vide such treatment and disposal serv¬
ice, except for
(a) the pre-treatment of such wastes
as shall require pre-treatment.
(b) the treatment and disposal of
wastes and other materials which
must be excluded from the Sew- *3
age Disposal System, and
(c) such treatment and disposal of
Its wastes as the Company shall
be required by the Sanitary
Water Board of the Common¬
wealth of Pennsylvania (or by
any other local, state or federal
agency having jurisdiction) to
provide despite this Agreement.
As used in this Agreement the term
“wastes” .shall mean industrial wastes
and shall include sewage.
This Agreement shall be binding
upon all subsidiary corporations of the
Company. The Company further agrees
that if during the life of this Agree¬
ment it shall itself own or occupy—
or shall form or acquire all or part of
the stock of any other corporation, or
shall purchase an interest in or ac¬
quire control of any unincorporated
firm or association, which now owns
or occupies or shall at any time during
such period own or occupy—any plant,
building or other premises located with¬
in the service area of the Sewage
Disposal System, the Company will
negotiate or will request such cor¬
poration, firm or association to nego¬
tiate with the Sewage Agency In an
effort to arrive at a mutually satisfac¬
tory agreement for the collection, treat¬
ment and disposal by the Sewage
Agency of the sewage and industrial
wastes from such plant, building or
premises.
3. In preparing the detailed plans
and specifications for the Sewage Dis¬

ment and disposal plant to accommo¬
date the present and foreseeable fu¬
ture quantities of sewage and accepta¬
ble industrial wastes of the Company'.s
existing plants, buildings and other
premise.s located within the service
area of the projected Sewage Disposal
System.
Subject to the provisions of Para¬
graphs 4 and 5 of this Agreement the
Sewage Agency will, upon completion
of the Sewage Disposal System and

ceptable wastes (e. g,, specified oils,
acids, toxic wastes, etc.), which in its
opinion may be harmful to its sewers,
pumping stations or other structures
or may Interfere with the sewage
treatment processes at its plant, and
to change such list from time to time.
The Company shall receive due notice
of such unacceptable wastes. The
Company agrees to so operate its plants,
buildings and premises, and to pro¬
vide and properly operate such pre-
treatment or other facilities to be
specified and approved by the Sani¬
tary Authority or by the Sewage
Agency, subject to the approval of the
State Board, as will assure the exclu¬
sion of all such unacceptable wastes
from all sewers connected directly or
indirectly with the Sewage Disposal
236
System. The Sanitary Authority and
the Sewage Agency, will, during; the
planning and construction of the Sew¬
age Disposal System, advise and con¬
sult with the Company, to the end
that the Company may take timely
steps to provide the required pre-treat¬
ment or other facilities.
6, The Sewage Agency’s interceptor
sewers will he constructed approxi¬
mately where shown on the map
marked Exhibit A attached to the Mu¬
nicipal Agreement. Provisions will be
made, in the plans and specifications
to be prepared by the Sanitary Au¬
thority, for only one point of connec¬
tion between its interceptor sewer and
a single outfall sewer from which all
of the sewage and wastes of the Com¬
pany’s existing plants, buildings and
premises shall be discharged. Such
point of connection shall be on the
east bank of Chartiers Creek at a
point where the present 18-inch mu¬

tor sewer will be made by the Sani¬
tary Authority without cost to the
Company. All outfall sewers of the
Company constructed after the com¬
pletion of the Sewage Disposal System
shall be brought by the Company to
points designated by the Sewage
Agency, where connections will be made*
by the Sewage Agency at the expense
of the Company.

rector of the Department of Public
Works are hereby authorized and di¬
rected to execute and deliver, for and

day of February, 1950, by and among
CITY OF PITTSBURGH
(hereinafter sometimes called the
"City”), a municipal corporation of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania located
within the County of Allegheny,
ALLEGHENY COUNTY
SANITARY AUTHORITY
(hereinafter sometimes called the "Sani¬
tary Authority”), a body corporate and
politic of the Commonwealth of Penn¬

and
(NAME OP COMPANY)
(hereinafter sometimes called the "Com¬

WITNESSETH:
Whereas, The City and the Sanitary
Authority have entered into an Agree¬
ment dated August 1, 1949, under
which the Sanitary Authority Is about
to begin the preparation of detailed
construction plans and specifications
for a Sewage Disposal System to serve
the City and numerous adjacent mu¬
nicipalities; and
Whereas, The Company has been or¬
dered by the Sanitary Water Board of
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting
pursuant to authority conferred upon
it by Act of the General Assembly of
Pennsylvania approved June 22, 1937,
P. L. 1987, as amended, to cease dis¬
charging into the streams of the Com¬
monwealth the untreated sewage and
wastes emanating from its plants in
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and to
provide adequate facilities for the
proper treatment thereof; and
Vvhereas, At the request and at the
expense of the Company, the Sanitary
Authority made a study and submit¬
ted a report which concluded that the
Company’s sewage and wastes could be
accepted for treatment and disposal by
the projected Sewage Disposal System,
subject to certain restrictions set forth
in said report; and
Whereas, Numerous municipalities
have executed long-term agreements for
sewage treatment service from the pro¬
jected Sewage Disposal System; and
Whereas, The added investment nec¬
essary to provide adequate facilities to
accommodate the Company’s sewage and
wastes cannot be made unless the Com¬
pany binds itself to take sewage treat¬
ment service exclusively from the pro¬
jected Sewage Disposal System for the
same long period of time as do the
participating municipalities; and
Whereas, The Company deems it
economical and otherwise advantageous
to have the sewage and wastes of its
plants treated and disposed of by the
said Sewage Disposal System pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, rather
than to build and operate suitable
treatment and disposal facilities of its
own.
Now, ’Therefore, In consideration of
the premises and the undertakings of
each party to the others, the parties *
hereto, each intending to legally bind
Itself, its successors and its assigns,
covenant and agree as follows:
1. 'The standard form of long-term
agreement by and among the City, the
Sanitary Authority and each of the
numerous other municipalities to be
served by the projected Sewage Dis¬
posal System (sometimes hereinafter re¬
ferred to as the “Municipal Agree¬
ment”), consisting of 27 pages and a
map marked Exhibit A, of which a copy
has been submitted to the Company,
is incorporated herein and made a
part of this Agreement by reference
thereto. Except as otherwise provided
herein, all relevant provisions of said
Municipal Agreement shall be binding
upon the parties hereto, the Company
hereby acquiring all the rights and
becoming subject to all the obligations
of the party referred to therein as the
“Borough” or the “Township” The
terms “Sewage Disposal System,” “Sew¬
age Agency” and “State Board” shall
have the same meanings herein as
those given them in the said Municipal
Agreement.
2. The Com[J)any hereby designates,
engages and appoints the Sewage
Agency as the sole and exclusive agency,
during the entire life of this Agree¬
ment, to provide sewage collection,
treatment and disposal service (sub¬
ject to the provisions hereinafter con¬
tained) to the plants, buildings and
other premises owned or occupied by
the Company at the present time
which are located within the service
area of the Sewage Disposal System,
and to the Company’s future plants
and buildings on the same premises or
on premises adjacent thereto and to
such adjacent premises (all of which
are hereinafter referred to as “the
plants, buildings and premises covered
by this Agreement”). The Company
agrees that during such period it will
not itself provide such treatment and
disposal service, except for the pre¬
treatment of such wastes as shall re¬
quire pre-treatment and except for the
treatment and disposal of wastes and
other materials which must be ex¬
cluded from the Sewage Disposal
System.
This Agreement shall be binding
upon all subsidiary corporations of
the Company. The Company further
agrees that if it shall form, or ac¬
quire all or part of the stock of, any
other corporation, or shall purchase an
interest in or acquire control of any
unincorporated firm or association,
which shall at any time during the
life of this Agreement own or occupy
the plants, buildings or other premises
covered by this Agreement, the Com-
239
pany will request such corporation,
firm or association to execute a sewage
treatment and disposal agreement iden¬
tical, mutatis mutandis, with the pres¬
ent Agreement, and will vote its cor¬
porate shares or other interest in favor
of the execution of such agreement.
3. In preparing the detailed plans
and specifications for the Sewage Dis¬
posal System the Sanitary Authority
will provide adequate capacity in the
Interceptor sewers and in the treat¬
ment and disposal plant to accommo¬
date the present and foreseeable fu¬
ture quantities of sewage and accepta¬
ble industrial wastes of the Company's
plants, buildings and ,other premises
covered by this Agreement.
Subject to the provisions of Para¬
graphs 4 and 5 of this Agreement the
Sewage Agency will, upon completion
of the Sewage Disposal System and
during the remainder of the term of
this Agreement, accept into its inter¬
ceptor sewers all the sewage and ac¬
ceptable wastes of the Company’s
plants, buildings and premises covered
by this Agreement, transport such sew¬
age and wastes to its treatment plant,
and provide such treatment and dis¬
posal thereof as may be required by
law; provided, however, that the Sew¬
age Agency shall have the right to
refuse to accept for treatment and dis¬
posal by the Sewage Disposal System
the sewage or wastes of any future
plant, building or premises of the
Company if in the judgment of the
Sewage Agency the quantity of such
sewage or wastes would overload its
interceptor sewer. In such event, the
Sewage Agency will, if the Company so
desires, design, construct and operate a
separate treatment and disposal sys¬
tem for such future plant, building or
premises, provided that the entire cost
thereof shall be borne by the company.

disposal service provided by the Sew¬
age Agency after the Sewage Disposal
System has been completed and put in
operation, the Company covenants to
pay promptly to the Sewage Agency the
Sewage Agency’s established sewage
service charges. Such charges shall be
based upon
(a) the quantity of water, from
whatever source, used in or on the
plants, buildings and premises of the
Company (less quantity credits pro¬
vided for in Paragraph 12 of the
Municipal Agreement) and
(b) the character—as to suspended
solids, bio-chemical oxygen demand,
chlorine demand, etc.—of the sewage
and industrial wastes discharged into
any sewer connected directly or in¬
directly with the Sewage Disposal
System,
in accordance with a uniform schedule
of charges applicable throughout the
service area of the Sewage Disposal
System, and billed monthly, quarterly,
semi-annually or annually, at the op¬
tion of the Sewage Agency.
It shall he the obligation of the
Company to install and maintain in
good operating condition water meters
or other water-measuring devices ap¬
proved by the Sewage Agency, and the
Company shall permit the Sewage
Agency or its designee to read such
meters or other measuring devices pe¬
riodically. If for any reason the Sew¬
age Agency shall not obtain such water
quantity data for any billing period, it
shall have the right to estimate the
same and to use such estfmated quan¬
tity in computing its charges.
In order to determine the character
of the industrial wastes discharged into
the Sewage Disposal System, for the
purpose of computing its charges and
also for the purpose of excluding un¬
acceptable wastes and materials, the
Sewage Agency shall have the right to
inspect the Company’s plants, buildings
and premises, and to take samples of
the sewage and wastes discharged there¬
from.
The Company shall not be required to
pay any charges whatever during the
planning and construction of the Sew¬
age Disposal System and until the
same shall have been completed and
put in operation.
5. The Sewage Agency shall have the
right to designate a list of unaccepta¬
ble wastes (e. g., specified oils, acids,
toxic wastes, etc.) which in its opin¬
ion may be harmful to its sewers,
240
pumping stations or other structures
or may interfere with the sewage treat¬
ment processes at its plant, and to
change such list from time to time.
The Company shall receive due notice
of such unacceptable W 2 istes. The Com¬
pany agrees to so operate its plants,
buildings and premises, and to provide
and properly operate such pre-treatment
or other facilities to be specified and
approved by the Sanitary Authority or
by the Sewage Agency, subject to the
approval of the State Board, as will
assure the exclusion of all such unac¬
ceptable wastes from all sewers con¬
nected directly or indirectly with the
Sewage Disposal System. The Sanitary
Authority and the Sewage Agency will,
during the planning and construction
of the Sewage Disposal System, advise
and consult with the Company, to the
end that the Company may take timely
steps to provide the required pre-treat¬
ment or other facilities.
6. The Sewage Agency’s Interceptor
sewers will be constructed approximate¬
ly where shown on the map marked
Exhibit A attached to the Municipal
Agreement. In accordance with the
policy set forth in Paragraph 7 of the
Municipal Agreement, It shall be the
obligation of the Company to bring its
sewage and wastes to suitable points of
connection therewith. Provision will be
made, in the plans and specifications
to be prepared by the Sanitary Au¬
thority, for only a limited number of
connections with the existing sewerage
systems of the Company’s several
plants. As soon as such points of con¬
nection are determined, the Sanitary
Authority will notify the Company, and
it .shall be the obligation of the Com¬
pany to construct the necessary col¬
lecting sewers to bring all its sewage
and wastes to such points, where con-
nectlons with the Sewage Agency’s in¬
terceptor sewers will be made without
cost to the Company. All outfall sewers
of the Company constructed after the
completion of the Sewage Disposal Sys¬
tem shall be brought by the Company
to points designated by the Sewage

No. 372
Whereas, The Mayor of the City of
Pittsburgh has petitioned the Public
Utility Commission to suspend the
proposed Increased street car and bus
fares: and
Whereas, The Council of the City of
Pittsburgh heartily agrees with action
taken by the Mayor in his efforts to
protect street car and bus riders In
the Pittsburgh area; and
Whereas, The proposed Increase In
street car fares would be the fifth steep
Increase in rates since 1948; and
Whereas, This represents a 100 per
cent increase in token fares, and for
those who use transfers an increase
of 136 per cent; and
Whereas, Such Increases have proven
unduly burdensome to the public and
have been disportionate to advances in
wages, materials and equipment; and
Whereas, It is of vital concern to
the economic well-being of this area
and to all citizens that the proposed
new rates be denied; and
Whereas, This Administration has re¬
peatedly urged the Public Utility Com¬
mission, without success, to establish
zones with a lower rate for short haul
riders who ride only short distances,
and not to impose on them the same
rates as those who ride for long dis¬
tances, and the Public Utility Commis¬
sion has repeatedly ignored this re¬
quest, and
Whereas, No transfer charge was
imposed' until recent tariffs, which Im¬
posed a three cent transfer charge
on riders irrespective of the shortness
of the ride, and only because of the
fact that continuous service is not
supplied them, and
Whereas, Such additional transfer
charge constitutes a great hardship
upon many thousands of car riders in
this City, and
Whereas, The repeated increases have
resulted in driving away from the street
car company millions of riders who
597
would patronize the company if the
fares were just and reasonable, and
Whereas, The proposed new fare in¬
crease which will become effective Sep¬
tember 10, 1951, will add further un¬
just burdens upon the transfer riders
and other car riders. Therefore, Be It
Resolved, That civic organizations,
business associations, labor unions, fra¬
ternal groups, veterans organizations,
and all other organizations and in¬
dividuals be urged to support the Mayor
and Council In their fight against in¬
creased street car and bus fares by peti¬
tioning the Public Utility Commission
to suspend the proposed new schedule
of rates.

Whereas, Dangerous explosives have
